A new study suggests that the ban on ozone depleting chemicals may have also impacted the rise in global temperatures.
CFC gases were responsible for a massive hole in the ozone layer, but they also had a powerful greenhouse effect. The authors link a ban on their use to a “pause” or slowdown in temperature increases since the mid 1990s.
The research is published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The subject of a hiatus or standstill in global temperatures rises since 1998 has been the subject of intense debate among scientists, and it has been used as a key argument by some to show that the impacts of global warming have been exaggerated. …

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.
3. The earth is a rock.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Ahah! So that explains why there are no apparent signs of global warming. It’s not because the alarmists are wrong, of course. It’s because of this other thing, here. I knew it.
Ahhh. The AWG Nazis are now starting to take credit for solving the Man Made Global Warming crisis. Good Enough for me. Whatever.
Now can we stop raping taxpayers and dumping their hard earned money into fraudulent power schemes. Right?
So this means the war on coal is for nothing?
Cutting down the rainforests is good?
Electric cars are even more worthless?
Windmills are evil?
Short version:
Somebody turned down the thermostat of the sun, just as had been done countless times in the past.
I doubt the temperature of the Sun has changed much in, say, 5000 years.
“I doubt the temperature of the Sun has changed much in, say, 5000 years.”
I think you are wrong. Although the net temperature has probably remained relativity constant, the surface temperature changes constantly. And the surface is what we are exposed to.
Wrong. We have to keep doing what we have been doing to keep Global Whorming from coming back. It's like when Doctor Obomba gives you a prescription for an antibiotic. He will tell you not to stop taking the pills when you feel better, but to keep taking them until they're gone, or else the nasty disease will return and be even worse.
Total BS
The amount of change is insignificant since CFC’s were banned.

Doesn’t matter. The answer is always the same. Higher taxes on energy (just here in the US). Force people into smaller cars, more government control over our lives.
Bottom line is; people are too stupid to know what is best for them.
What kind of excuses are they going to make when this cooling trend turns into a little ice age or a full blown one?
As usual, the MSM progresso's are as wrong as wrong can be. The Ozone holes at the poles are caused by Solar UV activity levels. Ozone is created by UV light. Here is the ozone hole right now during solar maximum.
Here is was during last solar minimum.
The less solar UV light, the less ozone. Ape CFC's have had little impact.
