EU: Earth warming faster

Removal of manmade sun-blocking smoke under clean air laws may add a 1 Celsius rise while oceans will warm further under a lag effect, underscoring how near the 2 degrees limit is already.

I thought this was significant too - they are saying removal of particulates are contribute half as much as CO2 - this is the first time I’ve seen the second largest cause mentioned and its one we could do something about - more particulates is easy.

Wasn't that in a way a response to the "Global Cooling" scare in the 1970s?

I remember "Global Cooling" and "Nuclear Winter" stories running concurrently with "Global Warming" stories in the early 1990s.

Actually if worse comes to worse we could probably invoke mild nuclear winter - pick some corner of the earth no one really needs and blow enough dust, smoke and soot into the stratosphere to prevent sunlight from reaching the earth’s surface.

I nominate Massachusetts. Kennedy, Kerry, and Frank would all have to leave DC then.

I mean, I don't really need it.

We are really talking about a generational thing - and all the Al Gore hysteria has hurt a more reasonable examination that shows that, very slowly, the surface of the earth is getting warmer, in terms of a the global average.
