Global warming predictions were overestimated. I’m just shocked.
A detailed analysis of black carbon — the residue of burned organic matter — in computer climate models suggests that those models may be overestimating global warming predictions.
Not to worry, though. Nothing will dampen the ferver of the true believers.
More interesting:
The findings are significant because soils are by far the world’s largest source of carbon dioxide, producing 10 times more carbon dioxide each year than all the carbon dioxide emissions from human activities combined. Small changes in how carbon emissions from soils are estimated, therefore, can have a large impact.
Presumably there is very little to nothing that we could do to intentionally affect the black carbon content in soils. So at best, if man ceased to do ANYTHING that resulted in carbon emissions (doesn’t really sound like best case, but you get my drift) the best we can hope to do is decrease total carbon emission by less than 10%. If we cut man made emissions by 10%, which would be painful itself, we could only decrease emissions by about 1%. And that is ignoring all of the other natural sources of carbon emissions that we have no control over.
Considering the significant liberties that would have to be given up to achieve the goals of the global warmitarians it really doesn’t seem like it would be worth it for a rounding error.
liberal politics are based on emotionalism (resonating w/ individuals) and dependency or slavery to the government, the end justifies the means…very little on logic and facts. We would need to combine emotionalism w/ logic and facts to win over the middle to get back to independence for the individual.
