Can volcanoes reduce global warming? Sure. But the point of this research is simply to provide cover for those who are pushing anthropogenic global warming in an age where atmospheric concentrations of CO2 continues to rise but the global temperature stagnates
(Business Line) Sulphur dioxide emissions from moderate volcanoes around the world can mask some of the effects of global warming by 25 per cent, a new study has found.
A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder looking for clues about why Earth did not warm as much as scientists expected between 2000 and 2010 now thinks the culprits are hiding in plain sight. (snip)
Neely said previous observations suggest that increases in stratospheric aerosols since 2000 have counter balanced as much as 25 per cent of the warming scientists blame on human greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s always about protecting the cult.
“But overall these eruptions are not going to counter the greenhouse effect. Emissions of volcanic gases go up and down, helping to cool or heat the planet, while greenhouse gas emissions from human activity just continue to go up,†Toon said.
Sixteen years with no increase in the global temperature. A whopping .28F increase since 1990. Yet, CO2 goes up. Funny how Warmist prognostications always fail.
