Latest Study Indicates Cleaner Skies Are The Real Reasons For Global Warming

GOODBYE air pollution and smoky chimneys, hello brighter days. That's been the trend in Europe for the past three decades - but unfortunately cleaning up the skies has allowed more of the sun's rays to pierce the atmosphere, contributing to at least half the warming that has occurred.

Since 1980, average air temperatures in Europe have risen 1 °C: much more than expected from greenhouse-gas warming alone. Christian Ruckstuhl of the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science in Switzerland and colleagues took aerosol concentrations from six locations in northern Europe, measured between 1986 and 2005, and compared them with solar-radiation measurements over the same period. Aerosol concentrations dropped by up to 60 per cent over the 29-year period, while solar radiation rose by around 1 watt per square metre.

MichealTaylor- I have give you credit for touting the company line you are really drinking the Toyota kool-aide there. You might want to check the facts a bit better though.

I am sick and tired of this global warming crap. Global Warming is nothing more than a cult, a stupid excuse to raise taxes.

And no wonder I don't believe the governments.

Nope... sorry. The facts prove that the world is warmer than it was when we began keeping track of it. That is global warming, nothing controversial about that.

What we don't know for certain is that humans are the *main* cause. All our CO2 emissions must have some effect if they remain in the atmosphere, but how much is not precisely known. The ocean also tends to absorb some of it.

Please...global warming hasn't just resulted in the warming of icy areas...it's created noreasters that have wreaked havoc on other areas. Where one polar cap dies, another will be reborn.

"I'm sorry, gut I really can't take people who dismiss global warming as a political pr stunt seriously... The proof is there... Just look out your window."

Oh yah! Like cleaner skies! That must be happening because of Global Warming! And I remember Al Gore saying something like Hurricane Katrina happened because of Global Warming and guess what, some CEO of weather network said his movie Inconvenient truth is a bunch of lies and doesn't make sense at all. But obviously he is wrong because Al Gore must know better than him on the weather issues, right??


....Idiot...

More proof that this whole think is just a bunch of absolute JUNK.

It is sad that our children are being indoctrinated in our schools with all this global harming hashmash much as Hitler did with his "youth". Grow them up, breed them, and gain even more power over them.

That's right. And we get told to invest cash on the hybrid, but guess what, the majority of people in the US and other nations can't even afford a hybrid car because it's FRIGGING EXPENSIVE.

And this global warming junk can be used as a political tool eventually, like to raise taxes.


There are so many people in this world who need to care about their starving families and all, and the governments and those ignorant celebrities just tell you to buy things that don't harm the environment? I can see what Global Warming really is now, it's just an ADVERTISEMENT to sell their products. And anyone who blindly supports it prob support Bush, too.

It's also like a War on Terror. It's merely a business for the governments. Welcome to the New World Order.

So what this tells me is that they still have no clue to why the earth is warming.. I really think its just what the earth is doing. And how long have we been burning stuff for fuel? a few thousand years. And what about all the forest fires. What effect do they have. Its not just one thing its many. And really we can do all we want to improve the air but what about the other countries. What about the 3rd world countrys that have no set standards. They undermind any good we do.

Terrible analogy for global warming, good analogy for green house effect. No facts that there is a "blanket" keeping in the heat. A more plausable explanation is the increased solar activity that can directly produce more heat. In any case, fluctuations in average temperature have occurred for decades. Measuring equipment and techniques are different than even 50 years ago. A lot of posturing, finger pointing, and speculation going on. And now political policies are being developed for it. I believe in being responsible and "clean", but the proposed measures don't support the facts.

bimerfan25-If you are saying that this Global Warming scame is the result of right wing lunatics than you are very mistaken. I hope thats not what you mean but if it si you need to do some research and when you do you will find that it is the left wing idiots who are the ones that have been driving this global warming story. Although the right wings are just as responsible these days for going along with the crazies.

Keep in mind that this study was only on certain locations in Europe. It may not be the case that the air is cleaner, on average, over the entire globe.
