Since Global Warming Didn’t Happen, Humans Are Now Accused of Making the World Colder
By WND. After insisting for more than three decades that human activity was driving the earth’s temperatures to dangerous levels, climate scientists and activists now contend that same activity is keeping the planet artificially cool and that cleaning up the atmosphere will leave us feeling the heat.
On Jan. 22, an online article for Scientific American makes the claim that certain parts of the pollution created by human behavior are actually preventing us from feeling the impact of the other emissions we spew into the air.
“Pollution in the atmosphere is having an unexpected consequence, scientists say – it’s helping to cool the climate, masking some of the global warming that’s occurred so far. That means efforts worldwide to clean up the air may cause an increase in warming, as well as other climate effects, as this pollution disappears,” wrote Chelsea Harvey for the Scientific American story.
“New research is helping to quantify just how big that effect might be. A study published this month in the journal ‘Geophysical Research Letters’ suggests that eliminating the human emission of aerosols – tiny, air-polluting particles often released by industrial activities – could result in additional global warming of anywhere from half a degree to 1 degree Celsius,” added Harvey.
So after years of telling people their activity is responsible for the climate we experience, climate activists are now claiming our behavior is responsible for not feeling what we’ve supposedly caused?

Macron Jokes About Trump’s Climate Change Stance at Davos
By The Hill. French President Emmanuel Macron poked fun at President Trump’s climate change denial while giving a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“Obviously and fortunately, you didn’t invite anybody skeptical with global warming this year,” Macron joked Wednesday at the annual gathering of global elites.
Macron has frequently criticized Trump’s denial that climate change exists, especially after Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate accord over the summer.
Macron said that was a mistake and announced in December that he would give grants to American climate scientists to conduct research in France during the remainder of Trump’s presidency. The “Make Our Planet Great Again” grants, totaling around $70 million, will go toward 50 climate research projects. (Read more from “Macron Jokes About Trump’s Climate Change Stance at Davos” HERE)
