If you are not familiar with soot as an issue, here's an older piece:

...even at concentrations below five parts per billion—such dark carbon triggers melting, and may be responsible for as much as 94 percent of Arctic warming.

"Impurities cause the snow to darken and absorb more sunlight," says Charlie Zender, a climate physicist at the University of California, Irvine. "A surprisingly large temperature response is caused by a surprisingly small amount of impurities in snow in polar regions." ....,snip.... http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=impure-as-the-driven-snow

Rest In Peace, old friend, your work is finished.....

If you want ON or OFF the DIESEL ”KnOcK” LIST just FReepmail me.....

This is a fairly HIGH VOLUME ping list on some days.....

Thank heaven all that soot is causing growth of Antarctic ice at the same time.

BULL$HIT! Scientist = Quack. You can’t believe anything these so-called scientists say. Next year the same guy will be saying soot is causing global cooling.

And if you want to know where the soot comes from, most of these dots on this chart, derived from sat data, is from charcoal fires or land clearing in turd world countries. Note the amazon jungle is on fire as the turd worldlers burn it to the ground.

And here you thought it was your SUVs. Silly you.

Stick to what you know Professor and stay out of fields, like climatology, that you apparently know nothing about.

Remember this from 1975?

The Cooling World
Newsweek, April 28, 1975

[excerpt]

Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.

Let me see: Global Warming.
The sun has a better correlation than CO2.
La Nina has a better correlation than CO2.
El Nino has a better correlation than CO2.
The orbit path of the Moon has a better correlation than CO2.
PDO has a better correlation than CO2.
And now soot has a better correlation than CO2.

Well that’s funny, there were more fireplaces going during the little ice age, weren’t there?

[drangundsturm]

Obviously, we need to cap and trade soot. /sarc

cow farts

carbon gas

de-forestation

too many humans

now, soot

what next?

[DoughtyOne]

Soot is man made. Man made global warming has been debunked.

And these folks call themselves scientists?

[Jack Hydrazine]

If soot causes global warming then why doesn’t volcanic ash heat us up instead of cooling us down?

[IamConservative]

I can remember back in the 70’s, soot caused global cooling because it would block the sunlight.

There have been peddlers of doom for all of time.

may be responsible for as much as 94 percent of Arctic warming

Prove it, otherwise stuff it.
