New Study Blames 10-year Lull In Global Warming On China Coal Use, Air Pollution
Washington Post blogs ^ | July 5, 2011 | Andrew Freedman

Posted on 07/05/2011 11:25:26 AM PDT by kiryandil

A new study published this week offering a fresh take on what may have driven a temporary, 10-year slowdown in global warming reinforces the scientific hypothesis that human activities are contributing to long-term global warming... **snip**

...But the new study, by American and Finnish researchers, says the answer lies mainly in the quickening pace of coal consumption in Asia, particularly in China, and the air pollution that is causing... **snip**

Does this mean we should start building coal plants like gangbusters? ;-)

CO2 causes global warming. No, Wait. CO2 causes global cooling. I’m confused.

More rain, snow and ice storms means global warming because snow is hot. No, wait. The rain, snow and ice cool the air and ground which means global cooling. But the carbon is a green house gas that makes it hot, but the heat makes water evaporate which makes it rain and snow and storm which makes it global cooling. But we don't have enough global warming laws and it’s raining and snowing and ice storms too much which means it’s already cooling. So if we accept the economic reductions resulting from unnecessary carbon restrictions now it will make global warming actually hotter, or, I mean, colder - and - I... Error! ... Error! ... Does not compute! ... Does not compute! ... Help me - Will Robinson! ... Danger! *head explodes

What’s going on is, human activities do two things: They cool the planet and they warm the planet.

LOL! Awesome. Our simultaneous warming effect and cooling effect both pose major threats to the environment.

I absolutely marvel at the things you can convince a liberal to worry about.

driven a temporary, 10-year slowdown

Gotta love how the reporter throws "temporary" in as if its fact. The decade long "slowdown" could go another decade and they'd still be calling it "temporary." Heck, it could go a hundred years and they'd still call it "temporary" if they still had a chance of using Global Warming to fleece taxpayers of more money.

You mean that trying to bankrupt the coal industry was a bad idea by Obama? Not fully using our most abundant energy source was a bad idea? who knew??

It’s simple... the Chinese are commies, so anything they do is good. Chinese coal plants cool, while American coal plants warm.

Yes indeed. Repeat after me...pollution is our savior, pollution is our savior. We just need burn more coal and throw the hockey sticks into the incinerator too.

Somehow, this reminds me of the Israeli response to the cut propeller in the ship which no longer could participate in breaking the blockade: "There is no evidence of any sabotage, and besides that, we didn't do it."

"There has been no reduction in Global Warming, and besides that, the reduction was caused by Chinese coal burning power plants." If it weren't so serious, it would be quite funny.

temporary, 10-year slowdown

Okay. This one deserves a lifting to see what it sounds like in other spheres of life.

"A temporary, 10-year slowdown in company profits..."
"A temporary, 10-year slowdown in my grades..."
"A temporary, 10-year slowdown in the stock..."

The global-warming crew are largely salespeople. They land the sales, they get the grants. That's why we didn't hear that there "could" be a "temporary, 10-year slowdown [i.e., no statistically significant warming at all] when we were pushed to "Sign up NOW!" ten years ago.

Now, they're acting like whole-life insurance salespeople who've already gotten their hands on the commisssion. "All right, so there's been a ten-year slowdown [sic]. So I didn't tell you about it ten years ago. You're in anyways. Why bring it up? Excuse me, I've got a call to make..."

aHA!! So, they admit that there is no global warming now, and has not been for 10 years - during which time they DEMONIZED those who pointed out that very fact, a fact to which they now agree.

New Study Blames 10-year Lull In Global Warming On China Coal Use, Air Pollution

Very strange headline, but I guess you can't use Praises in the same Headline as the word Pollution

It should read: New Study Praises 10-year Lull In Global Warming On China Coal Use, Air Pollution......:>)
