STUDY: Less pollution contributes to global warming now
Climate scientists have determined in their infinite wisdom that decreased pollution during the coronavirus pandemic made certain areas warmer, contradicting decades-long propaganda that more pollution increases global warming:
For a short time, temperatures in some places in the eastern United States, Russia and China were as much as half to two-thirds of a degree (.3 to .37 degrees Celsius) warmer. That’s due to less soot and sulfate particles from car exhaust and burning coal, which normally cool the atmosphere temporarily by reflecting the sun’s heat, Tuesday’s study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters reported.
The temperature rose in industrial countries amid less pollution, so the scientists were forced to rationalize that this happened because there are two types of pollution: some that increases temperatures and some that decreases it, but this is only a thing during coronavirus evidently.
Overall, the planet was about .05 degrees (.03 degrees Celsius) warmer for the year because the air had fewer cooling aerosols, which unlike carbon dioxide is pollution you can see, the study found.
But what if…. these people don’t know what they’re talking about? Perhaps anthropogenic global warming isn’t as impactful as they’re making it out to be?
