New Global Warming Alarmism from LA Times: 'The World is Running Short on Air Pollution'
Newsbusters ^ | 04/19/10 | Anthony Kang

Posted on 04/19/2010 12:12:20 PM PDT by kangpin

We have now reached the apex of "heads I win, tails you lose" global-warming alarmism. In his April 18 op-ed for the LA Times, author Eli Kintisch warned that "the world is running short on air pollution, and if we continue to cut back on smoke pouring forth from industrial smokestacks," global warming consequences could be "profound."

Having painted themselves into an environmental conundrum, Kintisch and climate scientists are left debating how they are going to proceed with sulfate aerosols - a natural and anthropogenic air pollutant believed to have cooling properties on the earth's atmosphere.

"Thanks to cooling by aerosols starting in the 1940s, however, the planet has only felt a portion of that greenhouse warming. In the 1980s, sulfate pollution dropped as Western nations enhanced pollution controls, and as a result, global warming accelerated," Kintisch wrote.

It’s OK. If (when) Katla pops off, it will spew more pollutants into the atmosphere than all of mankind has throughout all of history. Problem solved.

Idiots.

And then there’s those volcano eruptions you can’t do anything about. It’s Monday, and I haven’t heard Al Gore try to blame global warming for the Icelandic eruptions yet. Maybe he will tomorrow.

Idiots.

You could tell it would come to this. I remember a slew of studies in the past 15 or so years:

Coffee is bad for you.
No, coffee is good for you!

Chicken is bad, causes cancer.
No, chicken is good, lowers cholesterol.

Eggs are bad, they raise cholesterol.
No, eggs are good, lots of protien.

Chocolate is bad for you.
No, chocolate is good for you!
Er, only dark chocolate is good for you.

Come up with a position, and some “scientist” will support it with a study. If I had a LOT of money and had a theory that paying someone to excersize for you while you drank beer, ate cheeseburgers and watched sports on TV. I could get a “scientist” to provide a study to prove it.

We live in very dishonest times. And moving farther away from God isn’t helping matters.

Well, then my New Year’s resolution to increase my carbon footprint is helping the planet.

Now, if I could only put a coal burning smokestack in the back yard......

Global Climate CHANGE is a scam that allows them to fleece us coming and going.

As the computer said in Wargames, "the only winning move is not to play".

When the Earth cools, it’s our fault.
When the Earth warms, it’s our fault.

Anyone else notice a pattern? No matter what happens it’s our fault. In both cases, the only response is to give various governments trillions of dollars.

This is just as big a phishing con as the nigerian guy who wants me to share in his good luck regarding a recently discovered bank account.

I recently read coffee is bad for you, so I cut down on coffee.

Then I read red meat is bad for you, so I cut back on red meat.

Then I read sex is bad for you...so I have cut back on reading.

That didn't work for the tobacco companies, because it's only half the picture. No matter if you buy the scientists, you have to buy the politicians first.
