...therefore open pit mining is the solution to global warming...

“...form at extremely high altitudes – several kilometres above the Earth’s surface...”

“Several - Being of a number more than two or three but not many”

Sloppy writing for something like People magazine, but especially so for a scientific publication. While the “book” altitude for cirrus clouds is 5 to 14km, the aircraft used appears to be the Martin WB-57F, which used for very high altitude research, up to 70,000 ft.

Then he gets his licks in for ‘anthropogenic global warming’ by saying “Mineral dust is released by intensive agriculture and industrial processes.”

Ironically, this statement is just below a satellite photo of dust blowing off the Sahara, a known major center for “agriculture and industrial processes”.

Does this mean I can blame Congress for man made,if any, global warming? The Clean Air Act and others strove to eliminate sulfur dioxide and particulate emissions?

"‘Also, because the reaction takes place on large particles, these fall out of the cloud very quickly, so the sulfate will not remain in the cloud for as long as previously thought, reducing its influence. This suggests that the cooling effect of sulfate is much less than we thought.’

NOT buying this. There is nothing at all in a catalytic mechanism to restrict it to "larger particles" that will "fall out of the cloud quickly". ANY size particle should exhibit the effect, and, given the much higher surface area from smaller particles, they should contribute more to the process.

The old globull warming/climate change sham is falling apart, time for some new ‘scientific’ claim blaming mankind.
