Bombshell: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduce Global Warming

Smoke belching from Asia’s rapidly growing economies is largely responsible for a halt in global warming in the decade after 1998 because of sulphur’s cooling effect, even though greenhouse gas emissions soared, a U.S. study said on Monday.

The paper raised the prospect of more rapid, pent-up climate change when emerging economies eventually crack down on pollution.

World temperatures did not rise from 1998 to 2008, while manmade emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuel grew by nearly a third, various data show.

The researchers from Boston and Harvard Universities and Finland’s University of Turku said pollution, and specifically sulphur emissions, from coal-fueled growth in Asia was responsible for the cooling effect.

Sulphur allows water drops or aerosols to form, creating hazy clouds which reflect sunlight back into space.

    HALLELUIA – BUT DEMS WON’T LISTEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY TO MAKE OFF OF GREEN INITIATIVES.

    • TIME

      Penelopes,
      Its not so much the money, yes I admit it plays a small part to the idiots that think they will profit from it.

      * >But of you look into the UN Agenda 21, then fold in O care, the patriot act, no child left behind, NAFTA, and then look into the North American Union, what you will find is a method of POPULATION control as well as the formation of the NWO’s NAU cog.

      Look at the really large picture. Its all about being able to control your life from Birth to Death, even so far as to when you will die.
      If you really open up O care what you will find is the gears to set in motion for the UN Agenda 21′s population control, as well the frame work of making Criminals out of persons who will not comply. As well it opens the door to congress telling you what you can eat where you can live and what else you can own or buy, in plain words it will take away all your freedom of choice. Thats not my opinon, thats whats written in the bill just read it.
      Cap & Trade is yet one other part of that frame work and the EPA is working to get around congress. So to is the FCC who is working on removing your 1st Amendment rights as you read this by Net netural formating, aka 100% total Government controlled Media.
      Barry will sign an Executive Order to get around congress on the UN Small Arms Treaty and bring that into play this removing your 2nd Amendment rights.
      Then when you add the following the PA, removes your 4th amendment rights, O care takes away your 5th 9th and 10th Amendments rights.
      So whats left, the 1st and 2nd. Look for both to be under heavy attack by this years end.
      Folks if your not getting the BIG picture, as in it makes no differance what political party as they are all the same. If the American public fails on getting in real People who will follow the “Bill of Rights and Constitution” in November 2012, what you know as the United States of America will end by 2013.

      It will become known as the “North American Union,” or, the NAU..
      Just look in to GWB’s 2006 work on setting it all in motion, Barry is just following GWB’s lead who followed Clinton’s who followed GB, who followed Carter. This is an on going Progressive’s plan to enslave you.
      Please, I invite anyone to disprove what I posted. If you read the doucments I have noted you can come to no other conclusions, as they say its, in black and white and very clear they are not hidding it from you at all. They even came out in 2007 and told you what the name of the new US Money will be, its called the Amero, think like Euro.

      • Bundoker

        Population Control caused the demands for alien workers and stifled the demand for products. Without people you have no civilization.

        • EdinNola

          I was in grade school almost sixty years ago, when I first learned of two societal problems that faced the world and could lead to extinction at the extreme. The first of these was a rise in atmospheric CO2. (sound familiar) The cause was determined to be strippng of rainforests, primarily in 3rd world nations. The UN later formed a commission to try to stop the denuding of rainforests. Communists decided that they could use that commission to destroy civilized countries, specifically the US, under the guise of “global warming”. If nothing else, the Commies are a flexible lot.

          The other societal problem that we learned of was overpopulation. The big proponent was called “Zero Population Growth”. The US worked toward zero growth, and the average number of children produced by two people quickly became 2.2. To your point above, this was the opening for those self same Communists to begin importing foreigners into the US to help them with their objectives. So . . you are right, population control did create a lot of problems for America, but you must keep in mind that this was done by design. First we get rid of the unions, then we get rid of the rest of the Communists.

      • PENELOPE8

        TIME – I’M AWARE OF ALL THE THINGS YOU WRITE AND AGREE WITH YOUR VIEW, HOWEVER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING AND I WAS USING BREVITY TO SAY WHAT A CROCK IT IS.

      • Enlightenment

        I agree with you even though I haven’ read all the documents you have but I do know what is in motion and over 90% of America doesn’t care or are afraid to say anything against the current administration. I send out 20 e-mails a day to my so called friends about what is happening in this once great United States and I get only one e-mail back either from ignorance, just leave me out of it and it will go away, put my head in the sand…. but your butt is still sticking up etc.. I don’t know what peoples problems are unless they just want to live there lives without purpose and think everyone will leave them alone to pursue there American dream, but don’t want to see what is in not only for them but there children and grand children. I keep trying to spread the word wherever I can but 99% have shown me nothing but silence……

        • PENELOPE8

          ENLIGHTENMENT – I KNOW THE FEELING. I ONCE HAD MY HEAD IN THE SAND TOO, BECAUSE I WAS TOO LAZY TO RESEARCH AND FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING TO OUR ONCE-GREAT REPUBLIC. NOW, I SEE ALL TOO WELL, BUT MOST OF MY FRIENDS WON’T HEED MY E-MAILS BECAUSE THEY DON’T BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING. IT WILL BE LEFT TO THOSE OF US WHO KNOW THE TRUTH TO STAND UP AND STOP THE INSANITY OF WASHINGTON, D.C. I’M READY!!!!

          • DonnaW

            If your email friends don’t respond, add some new friends to your list. I just explained Agenda 21 to a middle school kid. Told her the solutions: 1) tell everyone 2)educate your city and county government and get them to outlaw Agenda 21. 3) get local officials to drop out of the Agenda 21 NGO’s like local Council of Governments, area Mayors Assoc.
            Wow. She got busy, looked up Agenda 21 and started sending it out on Facebook and twitter. Every kid in our town will know about it in a week. She is a one man band to educate the populace.
            Remember, the motto of A21 and ICLEI is “think globally, Act Locally ” These programs are not implemented from the federal level. It is all done at the local level: your city planning board, water board, your county boards.
            You can’t just go to the city council meeting. All the A21 stuff comes from their planning boards. They have meetings, go see what they are doing.

          THAT IS BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS ARE TOO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT WHO IS GOING TO WIN ON “AMERICA HAS TALENT”.

    When the sky turns green from the sulferic acid, all life will be gone. Check out the planet Venus. The atmosphere here is so hot that lead on the surface flows in rivers.

    • Schucksters

      The idea that rivers of lead flow on the planet Venus probably doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that Venus is closer to the Sun, huh?

      • Bob Marshall

        How about the carbon dixoide atmosphere that cause the heat to be trapped instead of escaping to cool the planet it is reflected back onto the surface. With constant temperature of 900 degrees compared a high of one hundred and thirty and a low of one hundred and sixty on earth i don’t think we have to worry about becoming another Venus.

      WOW,All that lead.Can we mine it?All we need will be buckets to scoop it out.I wonder if they will hire a 72 year old man who is shit proof?And I got two turds in my back pocket to prove it.

    • Rocky

      Venus has a lot more about it that makes it the planet it is. You are over generalizing it. Taking away the sulfur on Venus would not make it earth.

  • Dan

    Since man wasn’t around at the last Ice Age what caused it? It was a natural occurrence caused by volcanic activity. Climate Change
    will occur no matter what we do it part of nature.
    The other thing that effects climate I’d the Sun.
    Man isn’t that powerful. According to the greenie predictions we were already supposed to have great big new deserts and island nations were supposed to be under water in 2010. I guess they were wrong. We need to fight against this
    BS it’s ruining the economy of the world.

    • Dean

      That’s right Dan, these Chicken Littles, like to think that they have an effect on something we have absolutely no control of or effect on. Delusions of Grandeur!

  • Randy131

    Carbon gasses in the atmosphere during the last two great ‘Ice Ages’ were 10 times more than what they are today, proven by atmospheric scientist who drilled ice borings, in snow drift compactions in Greenland and Antartica, dating back to those ice ages. Carbon in the atmosphere today is double that of what it was when Gore and his millionaire buddies planned this scam, so that means during the two great ‘Ice Ages’, the carbon gasses were 20 times more than when Gore and his cohorts invented the theory of ”Global Warming’, now called ‘Climate Change’. I just don’t understand why nobody asks these ‘Snake Oil Salesmen’ about what those atmospheric scientist discovered about the atmosphere during those two great ‘Ice Ages’?

  • Violet

    The only change man can make on the planet for its and our betterment is to not pollute the streams, rivers and oceans and quit using the land as a garbage dump. All other things that happen on the planet are not under our control. We do not create hurricanes, tornadoes, heavy rain, lightening, strong wind or any other weather conditions known to man. I guess the AlGore’s faith based religion doesn’t include the part about man having dominion over the earth and the animals NOT control over the weather.

    • armyvet

      I think the climate change is due to the hot air from Al Gore and his sympathizers in Washington, D.C.

    • PENELOPE8

      VIOLET – YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THIS NONSENSE IS ABOUT MAN, AS ALWAYS, TRYING TO PLAY GOD, TOGETHER WITH THE MONEY THEY’VE MADE FROM THIS FARCE. NOW WE HAVE A POTUS WHO THINKS HE “IS” GOD. I PRAY THAT GOD SAVES OUR REPUBLIC.

    I think that in the future we may well find that so called “green industry” is actually more harmful to the environment when you factor in the manufacture of “green” components.

    • Demo

      I think, in the present, we already know that Bob. Of course you’re corrrect.

  • KNY

    Why let facts get in the way. The “greenies” have too much invested in their hype and hysteria to abandon it now. Follow the money…this administration is funneling our tax dollars to this nonsense to further their wealth distribution objectives. Besides, we’re well on the way to indoctrinating a whole new generation of environmental terrorists…game on!

    • OR Conservative

      Subsidized green initiatives like ethanol have caused issues in my Toyota! For some reason -when it is blended with fuel, it gives you Less miles per gallon. Gee, that really makes sense!!! I just had to have something in my 2 year old car flushed because the ethanol adds a clogging effect to the fuel line. SO, I am using MORE gallons to get from point A to point B…

  • Dan

    The greenies are so smart that they can’t help stepping on their own feet! This causes that, that causes this, blah, blah, blah…… They talk themselves into cirlces about what will do what, I love it!

  • Stephen Lord

    Check out the book superfreakonomics , lots of reviews on line, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6879251.ece

    They discuss a plan to duplicate the effect of sulfur in reducing global temperatures. The big benefit is that it is adjustable and of course it is also much cheaper than the crazy cap and trade extortion. The amount of sulfur required is tiny and could also be put up by leaving a trace of sulfur in jet fuel as the airplanes go in the stratosphere where the sulfur does not affect the air we breathe but does cut back on solar radiation. Of course it also works if the sun suddenly gets warmer and can be turned off if it gets colder as it seems to be doing.

  • armyvet

    Why do you think they changed the name to Climate Change in place of Global Warming? That way no matter if the earth cools or warms up, they will be right. Smart move, a win, win situation for Al Gore. He can’t lose!

    • Bundoker

      He ALREADY DID

  • Dan

    The only thing that is correct is that we need to find inexpensive renewable forms of energy. If it cost more than current forms it cost too much.
    To raise prices of energy whether it be power or fuel is idiotic these things effect the cost of everything and in the current pay raise less economy with it’s 9.1% unemployment we can’t afford a 60% rise in the cost if everything just because the liberals think the sky is falling. The green movement already bankrupted Spain and is on it’s way to doing that here. The biggest problem is it isn’t possible to change a liberals mind no matter how much evidence you have.

  • greenteeth

    These people are so full of shi t, If green house gas is that bad, our green plants would be going crazy, black and dicker couldn’t keep up, plants breath in co2 and breath out oxygen, we as man contribute a measurable amount, the ring of fire and active volcanos put off alot, to compare pick up one pebble of sand on the beach and that is mans part, nature has a way to make a balance, yes man poolutes but in spots and around populated areas, that is what is bad. all the pollutants get neutralised by mother nature, goes back to the basic elements. progressives just want to make a killing because it is every where, and it is a numbers game that equates trillions, that they will make us pay, just a little from every one. get it. go light up a cigar.

  • NIELS OLSEN kimberly, idaho

    come on up north next winter. then you will know about global warming. you will have first hand evidence, it is cold up here. try montana if you are still not convinced.

    • SaneRepublican

      LOL!!!! Gawd bless you people!!!!

      I love how you people believe that “climate change” would prevent it from getting cold in Montana DURING THE WINTER MONTHS!!!!! You people do realize when we have seasons, don’t you? No, of course you people don’t.

      Science be damned!!!! LMAO!!!!

    The hypocrites at the church of global warming and their pope Alvin Goul do not or will not buy into this (even though it would pay off) for one second, for they are trying to persuade the world that if we work togethor and believe the same thing (global waeming) that we as worldlings will have dominion over the weather and have that peace we have always desired…….. Imagine having dominion and power over your own god…..playing god and getting paid for it….

  • Rocky

    Climate change has more to do with what man can not control then it does with what we can control. This whole thing is about politics, money, power and control. Unfortunately the individuals mostly involved are in it for corrupt reasons, not for helping the mass population live more health and happy lives.
    What is happening to the earth has more to do with the sun and it’s maturation as a sun, and the rotation of the earth and all the planets around the sun. Science says that as the sun matures it gets hotter, and so is our sun. We are still rotating around the same sun which is getting hotter. Our rotation around the sun is not done on a perfect circle as many may think. Because of that we are at different distances, therefore temperature changes. We need to be honest about how we treat our earth and the bye products we make by producing large amounts of a particular product, mainly energy, but we don’t need to compromise our values and constitutions or our countries.

  • Lou

    I think Al Gore is a nut job but I do agree with the 2 child limit unless you have proof by income that you can afford more. I’m hispanic and Hispanic and Blacks need to cut it out with this mentality of having 9 kids to collect Food stamps, Welfare, WIC, Medicad. What is so hard to comprehend if you can’t afford the kids use a condom

    • S Rubicon

      Perhaps its because I do not get out much. Do blacks and Hispanics “really” have kids just to collect food stamps, welfare, etc.? I mean, really????
      I am not being sarcastic here. I honestly did not believe a people, of any ethnic background, would simply have kids just to get ‘benefits” of one sort or the other!

    The following is a summary of the makeup of the earths’ atmosphere:

    Imagine, if you will, viewing the atmosphere in “parts per million”. Using a vessel capable of holding 1 million equally sized grains of sand; the vessel content would be as follows:

    Nitrogen – 76.55 % or 765,500 grains of sand. Color White
    Oxygen – 20.54 % or 205,400 grains of sand. Color Pale Blue
    Argon – .91 % or 9,100 grains of sand. Color Light Tan (sand)
    These three gases make up 98% of the earths’ atmosphere; the remaining 2% are the so called “Greenhouse Gases”, without which we would freeze to death. Your vessel is now 98% full.

    Next add:
    Water Vapor – 1.95% or 19,500 grains of sand. Color Medium Blue.
    Co2 – .038% or 380 grains of sand. Color Black (“it’s a terrible hazard to humans”- quote source the EPA)
    Methane – .012% or 120 grains of sand. Color Dark Blue – (the methane number will include miscellaneous gases that are too small to measure here).

    Your vessel is now full!

    Now, of the 380 grains of Black sand that represent CO2, 364.8 (96%)are introduced to the atmosphere “naturally”- volcanoes, sea floor expansion, wet lands, etc., the remaining 15.2 grains (4%) represent mankind’s contribution to CO2 in the atmosphere. This, of course, assumes that mankind is not a “natural” entity in the makeup of life on earth.

    The 15.2 grains of Black sand are the complete volume of CO2 attributed to GLOBAL Human Activity. As industrious as the U.S has been let’s assume that we are responsible for 25% of the human contribution of atmospheric CO2 (total of 1% of the CO2 in the atmosphere). Therefore, we would be responsible for 3.8 grains of Black sand in the vessel.

    In order to correct this terrible injustice to the earth we would have to eliminate all manufacturing, all food processing, any and all industry. Business such as hotels, restaurants, bakeries, yes even “government”; shut down every plane, train, bus, motor home, SUV, and PRIUS. Homes would have to go unheated and ALL of the 300 million people in the United States would have to Stop Breathing!!!!, which renders all conditions above moot. Once all of this is accomplished you can remove 3.8 grains of Black Sand from your vessel. (Removal of the 3.8 grains assumes you are the last man standing.)

    California being what it is, if the rest of the country is unwilling to participate, then California can forge ahead on its’ own. Therefore, with the size of the California population being about 10% of the nation as a whole, once all California industry is eliminated and all residence Stop Breathing, you can remove .38 (POINT 38) grains of Black Sand from your vessel. The .38 grains would likely be offset with Dark Blue grains of sand from all of the methane emitted from the dead bodies after breathing stops.

    I hope this has put the issue in a usable perspective for you. Introduce “SOUND SCIENCE” to the nation, perhaps we can move forward with a logical approach and eliminate some of the misguided and damaging legislation that is currently being proposed in this country for an absolute farce. Maybe then we get get some of our industry back from overseas and regan our natyions prospertiy.

    Isn’t it interesting that the proposed ‘solutions’ to “Climate Change” are revolve around, political solutions?!? Seems if we all become good little socialists, then the climate will normalize & we can all live in utopia! (And I have beach front property in Northern New Mexico to sell you cheap, but you must act soon or lose the opportunity. You can always get your money back if once you see it you are not satisfied. Just send your $100,000.00 check for 5000 acres, to my home address, made out to cash, & you too can enjoy the ocean & beach!)
    Now back to real life!
    None of the proposed solutions would do anything to reduce temperatures by more than one degree Fahrenheit in 50 years. So why invest possibly trillions & why abandon our constitutional rights & representative government system, to get a degree savings in 50 years? Imagine what could be done with all that money to help the poor, pay off debts, fix our mortgage systems, etc., etc., etc.
    This is about political power & wealth accumulation for an elite who are pushing this crap. That elite, who use class warfare to knock anyone who expresses opposition or asks a reasonable question, will have no problem telling any & all to ‘shut up & sit down’. (familiar words? Obama used them in a NY speech & many member of his admin. & a few Senators {Pelosi, et al}, have used them since.)
    Socialism is soft communism. Basically, these people get their way in finance & then political power, then their real personalities reveal themselves in their fascist like tendencies. Next ting you know, our constitution looks like the old failed Soviet constitution (where they expressly list what the government must do “for” you), which is used to do “TO” the people rather than for the people.
    To bad this report will not get the media attention it deserves, and too bad if it gets any media attention it will be to castigate, mock, and marginalize any who may want to ask if its true & what affect it has on the Climate Change agenda!
    Sorry folks… but for me, the entire issue is politics & greed. United Nations & one world order socialists & communists seeking power & wealth! Power over us & all our wealth.
