It's hard to credit, but the Green's bete noire - coal - turns out to be (at least temporarily) according to a new study ( by alarmists) cooling the global temperature. So that's what's doing it!?
Here's a taster:
As a superb bronze of Ronald Reagan was being unveiled in the gardens of London’s U.S. Embassy on July 4, a new study into why global temperatures stalled back in the mid-1990s was making headlines. According to the study’s lead author Robert Kaufmann the “lack of global warming” may well be due ... to the Chinese burning “extra coal”. So there it is. Hot off the presses is the suggestion that not only is man’s burning of coal a chief cause of global warming, man’s burning of even more coal, at least temporarily, may also be responsible for cooling global temperatures, too.
Hard to take in, isn’t it? Or is the growing desperation to pile theory on theory to explain away – what Monty Python’s John Cleese might term the “bleedin’ obvious” - that the CO2-global temperature causative link theory is looking increasingly shaky and difficult to maintain. Reagan had a clear-sighted ability to see things for what they were. And when complex issues of the day found alleged experts performing verbal contortions to underpin one theory or another, Reagan invoked a famous dictum: “Don’t be afraid to see what you see”.
