Bummer: Reducing CO2 Emissions Could “Unmask Deadly Face Of Climate Crisis (scam)”

So, damned if you do, damned if you don’t, so, why not just go about our lives as we have, and tell the cultists to just mind their own damned business?

Climate paradox: Emission cuts could ‘unmask’ deadly face of climate change, scientists warn

Scientists have uncovered a potentially lethal paradox at the heart of efforts to slow human-caused climate change.

A series of new studies suggest a stark truth.

One the one hand, cutting fossil fuel pollution is necessary for avoiding severe destruction over the long term. But such cuts will make the earth much hotter in the short term.

One recent study cast the well-known declines in air pollution during the COVID-19 pandemic in a darker light.

ZOMG! Run!

From a research station in the Maldives, an island archipelago off the coast of India, Gustafsson’s team detected that when pollution from smokestacks fell, so did concentrations of aerosols — tiny floating particles that hang in the atmosphere.

That fall was an unmistakable boon to public health. According to Our World in Data, these contaminants — like tiny floating particles of soot or sulfates — cause millions of global deaths per year.

But for all the damage they do to human lungs, aerosols also help shade the earth by scattering light particles from the sun that would otherwise warm the planet.

After the cuts, the study found that light reaching the surface increased by 7 percent.

So, wait, these particles, which are actually an environmental issue, reduced sunlight reaching the surface, and when those plants were shuttered for Wuhan Flu, sunlight increased? That’s rather stating that that big ball of nuclear fire in the sky is actually the primary driver of climate, and the works of Man have limited the effect.

A draft study led by Columbia University climate scientist James Hansen suggests that the recent rise in temperatures doesn’t come from greenhouse gases at all, but from the reduction in sulfate aerosols since the early-2000s.

Huh. 84% of scientists say that 96% of climate scientists are right 3% of the time, although there is only a 50% chance of that. Really, this just goes to show that we don’t really understand how the climate works but does not seem to slow us down from throwing random solutions at the problem. Ones that involve your money and freedom.
