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 Germanys 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 laymans terms, aerosols are offsetting less global warming than was previously thought. And if aerosols arent causing as much cooling, it must mean carbon dioxide must be causing less warming than climate models predict.

you mean the science isn’t “settled” ?
SHOCKING!
lol stupid moronic liberals believe any lie they are told.
Those guys are no longer card carrying consensus club members
The “science” of global warming is political.
Not empirical.
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.
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.
This isn’t a joke, is it? (it’s 1 Apr, after all)
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 aerosol that plagues us all comes directly from the fascist flatulance issuing from Obama’s arse. CORK IT!

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