Report: Clean Skies Causing Global Warming
Scientists have been making utter fools of themselves for years, making wild and absurd claims that this causes global warming, that causes global warming...cow flatulence causes it, or logging of trees, or some such other nonsense. But along the same path, environmentalists have been demanding that we breathe absolutely clean air. Well, now both sides have caused us all trouble, because a new study allegedly shows that the race to have clean air is causing global warming:
Clear skies end global dimming
Oh, why won't these stinking phony baloneys leave us the hell alone with their half-baked theories and bullshit already?

Our planet's air has cleared up in the past decade or two, allowing more sunshine to reach the ground, say two studies in Science this week.
Reductions in industrial emissions in many countries, along with the use of particulate filters for car exhausts and smoke stacks, seem to have reduced the amount of dirt in the atmosphere and made the sky more transparent.
That sounds like very good news. But the researchers say that more solar energy arriving on the ground will also make the surface warmer, and this may add to the problems of global warming. More sunlight will also have knock-on effects on cloud cover, winds, rainfall and air temperature that are difficult to predict.
