Exponents of global warming have struggled to explain why temperatures have declined in recent years instead of rising in line with the significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
Researchers now claim that sulphur emissions from power plants in China are blocking sunlight and having a cooling effect on the atmosphere, cancelling out the effect of global warming.
The impact of the sulphur emissions has combined with a cooler stage of the sun’s cycle and a change from the El Nino to the La Nina weather system in the South Atlantic has kept temperatures artificially low, the experts argued.
That must be what Al Gore meant when he said the Chinese were serious about stopping global warming.
use more hair spray………….
You know…..they have tried every excuse in the books
The sea floor is sinking and land is rising……that’s why there’s no sea level change
The sun did it….
El nino/La Nina ENSO did it…..
Earths orbit did it….
The heat is hiding somewhere, must be in the deep ocean
Warm air holds more moisture, but doesn’t make rain, it makes snow
Warm water sinks………and it’s colder on the surface
Cold air rises…..on it’s own
Who in their right minds still believes this …………
Natural variability is keeping temperatures artificially low?
ROTFLMAO!
Al Gore, always the politician.
” a cooler stage of the sun’s cycle ”
Makes blood shoot out my eyeballs .
Cause you know, the climate science people have always maintained that the sun is a significant element in the climate equation.
Progress is being made. At least they’re acknowledging the lack of actual warming.However, you’d think that those nearly infallible computer models would have factored these conditions into the mix.
The Chinese have saved us!
Well if there was any global warming (sic) these guys have inadvertently said how to stop it.
Turn off flue gas desulfurization units on all coal fired power stations.
Easy. Would even save money. I wonder if anyone will notice this alarmist faux pas.
It is good to know that the ENSO region has now moved to the Atlantic Ocean!
99.95% natural but it is the .05% human contribution that is going to get us
So if China is negating global warming, what’s the fuss all about? We can now all rest in peace.
