AT LAST! SOMETHING FOR WHICH THE LEFT SHOULD BLAME RICHARD NIXON!:
Cleaner skies explain surprise rate of warming (New Scientist, 7/09/08)
GOODBYE air pollution and smoky chimneys, hello brighter days. That's been the trend in Europe for the past three decades - but unfortunately cleaning up the skies has allowed more of the sun's rays to pierce the atmosphere, contributing to at least half the warming that has occurred.Since 1980, average air temperatures in Europe have risen 1 °C: much more than expected from greenhouse-gas warming alone.
Given that Tricky Dick was responsible for the Clean Air Act and one of his henchmen,. George HW Bush, for the cfc ban, it seems fair to blame pro-environment Republicans for global warming. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 10, 2008 10:19 AM
Funny how that lucky old sun seems to be associated with "global warming."
When the glaciers start growing again we'll all be burning coal and tires just for the hell of it ... so to speak.
