Here is an item that is sure to make the global warning enthusiasts run screaming into the night. A new scientific study in Nature magazine has concluded that cleaner air could accelerate global warming instead of reducing it. Imagine that….

According to a team of highly regarded international researchers who by the way have brilliantly surmised that particles in soot and haze keep the earth cool by scattering and absorbing sunlight. The team painstakingly took their first measurement to see how much light those particles deflect and to their amazement it showed that making the earth's air cleaner would lead to a significant and substantial rise in global warming.

Overwhelmingly and conclusively more scientists are now satisfied beyond a shadow of a doubt that an absence of aerosol cooling, could rise global temperatures 6 to 10 degrees Celsius within the next 100 years, far beyond the early predictions of most scientists.

What does this all mean for the global warming enthusiasts. Perhaps nothing or it may shut them up for a while. Fat chance of that happening.

One never knows does one?
