Scientists Say New Study Is A ‘Death Blow’ To Global Warming Hysteria
The Daily Caller ^ | March 31, 2015 | Michael Bastasch

A new study out of Germany casts further doubt on the so-called global warming “consensus” by suggesting the atmosphere may be less sensitive to increases in carbon dioxide emissions than most scientists think.

A study by scientists at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Meteorology found that man-made aerosols had a much smaller cooling effect on the atmosphere during the 20th Century than was previously thought. Why is this big news? It means increases in carbon dioxide emissions likely cause less warming than most climate models suggest.

What do aerosols have to do with anything? Well, aerosols are created from human activities like burning coal, driving cars or from fires. There are also natural aerosols like clouds and fog. Aerosols tend to reflect solar energy back into space, giving them a cooling effect that somewhat offsets warming from increased CO2 emissions.

The Max Planck study suggests “that aerosol radiative forcing is less negative and more certain than is commonly believed.” In layman’s terms, aerosols are offsetting less global warming than was previously thought. And if aerosols aren’t causing as much cooling, it must mean carbon dioxide must be causing less warming than climate models predict.

The “science” of global warming is political.

Not empirical.

*The hysteria is agenda driven, therefore no amount of science fact will cause a “death blow”. The hysteria will never go away.*

For the Global Warmists that promote the scam, the “science” is unfalsifiable.

No mountain of fact or actual Science will dissuade them from their Socialist behemoth government agenda.

“identical”

Nope. You’d never be able to get a global tax or destroy capitalism because the earth was flat.

Silly..everyone knows global warming climate change causes global cooling. except when it doesn't and it causes global warming, except when it doesn't and causes whatever weather conditions are going on at the time.

Do they mean that the children’s book “Chicken Little” is all a myth? “The sky is falling, the sky is falling” is not TRUE. OMG, we have been lied to for years......(sarc)

There is no proof … or anything anyone can say … to convince the global warming cult that they are wrong.

The grant receivers are all about the money.
The grant grantors are all about the power.
The supporters of the grantors are all about the self-righteousness.

The issue of aerosols has bedevilled the global warming industry from the beginning. Already back in 1994 there was a spate of hypotheses to explain the effect, or non effect, of aerosols in the atmosphere. There has never been a general resolution or satisfactory modelling, but the net effect is always that aerosols reduce warming from the "greenhouse gases."

The aerosol that plagues us all comes directly from the fascist flatulance issuing from Obama’s arse. CORK IT!

Good Read , from 2009:

Hmmm, I’m unaware of any actual ‘scientists’ that believe the atmosphere to be “sensitive to increases in carbon dioxide emissions.”
