New Panic: Slowing the Burning of Fossil Fuels Will Cause Global Warming
2024-06-28
[HotAir] In the world of climate scientists, everything causes the apocalypse. Whatever day or hour it is, it is time to panic.

Well, I just learned that if you burn fossil fuels, you warm the planet, but if you quit burning fossil fuels, you will still warm the planet.

...This terrible news comes via a Washington Post article, in which we learn that climate scientists have discovered that reducing the use of fossil fuels containing sulfur will increase temperatures by as much as a degree because we will be eliminating the cooling effects of the pollution and cloud formation caused by the sulfur particles released into the air.

#1  That's been known and understood for quite some time. The boom in low-sulfur coal from the Wyoming Powder River Basin started 50 years ago. On the other hand, scrubbers have reduced particulates a ton.

Complex systems, beyond the reach of Greta and Company.
