Atmospheric soot does not raise temperatures, but does the opposite.

WAIT A MINUTE!! In the Seventies we were told that pollution (particulate matter) was causing global cooling by blocking the sun. It was one of the reasons for putting catalytic converters in cars.

“may” raise summer temperatures in the American heartland by three degrees in about 50 years, Well that will mean that we can grow an extra crop every summer.

Pardon the interruption, but the sun just went without a sunspot for the entire month of August. That has not happened in 100 years. A recent article (rejected by “Science”) stated that we are on the verge of a significant solar “minimum.” The issue is not climate warming but global cooling.

So that would make it American warming, not global warming.

The thing is, I agree with the environmentalists that the pollution in the developing countries, especially China, is not good for the world we live in. Unfortunately, the environmentalist do not care at all about pollution in China. They only care about destroying America.

or give China the olympics on the provision that they have them every year.

Uh, let me get this straight. Global warming is now a phenomenon localized just over the US?
These people really do think we're stupid.
