Clean Air is adding to Global Warming.
So, let me get this straight. We pollute the air, we increase global warming. We clean the air, we increase global warming.

I can't help but wonder....
What if... and I know this is a nutty idea... what if there are a number of factors contributing to global warming, and it's just that the pollution gets picked up on by people because it's the one we can directly affect?
You know, like saying, "Maybe I can't stop the dust from collecting in my room, but I can probably sweep it up."
Nah, that's silly and would destroy the precious dust-making jobs that power our economy. |

Nobody said it was simple. This is exactly why large volcanic eruptions have a cooling effect. |

Maybe so.
But you're still a repulsive little troll that's well earned all of the ridicule he's gotten. And let's face it: When you wake up every morning, you still have to deal with the shame of knowing that being a twit on the internet is the most you've amounted thus far in your life.
So dummy or not, I'm a lot better off than you are. |
