Another “bombshell” dud.
“Early results seem to indicate that cosmic rays do cause a change. The high-energy protons seemed to enhance the production of nanometre-sized particles from the gaseous atmosphere by more than a factor of ten. But, Kirkby adds, those particles are far too small to serve as seeds for clouds. At the moment, it actually says nothing about a possible cosmic-ray effect on clouds and climate, but its a very important first step, he says.

Generally speaking, a hoax is a harmless prank. The scam of AGW is anything but harmless in many ways.
As it is, they are specifically excluded from economic impact requirements before dictating environmental policy.
That's a capital idea! It's high time for the EPA to produce economic impact statements for any new regulations that they propose, at the least, cap their budget and then require them to produce economic impact statements for all of their regulations already in effect.
>> Unsurprisingly, it’s a politically sensitive topic,
Algorian meatheads are a threat to the natural progression of science.
CERN's 8,000 scientists may not be able to find the hypothetical Higgs boson, but they have made an important contribution to climate physics, prompting climate models to be revised. ...it's a politically sensitive topic, as it provides support for a "heliocentric" rather than "anthropogenic" approach to climate change: the sun plays a large role in modulating the quantity of cosmic rays reaching the upper atmosphere of the Earth.
So the sun affects the climate? Who would have thunk it?
