One Way or the Other, Which Is It?

Friday, May 6th, 2005

The problem with absurdity is that at some point people will no longer believe what you have to say.

For instance, in this article entitled, Clear skies end global dimming, the writer tells us that because of major steps taken in the last two decades, our skies have cleared up immensely. More sunlight is reaching the earth’s surface now than it was in 1980.

The article then hypothesizes the following:

“Researchers will now focus on working out the long-term effects of clearer air. One thing they do know is that black particulate matter in the air has been contributing a cooling effect to the ground. “It is clear that the greenhouse effect has been partly masked in the past by air pollution,” says Andreas Macke, a meteorologist at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in Kiel, Germany. “

So now what are we to think? We have been told for the last thirty years to decrease pollution in the air because it causes global warming and the green-house effect. Now we are told we have done our job, and have cleaned up the air immensely, and that causes global warming as well.

We wonder just how much “science” people have the gullibility to swallow. The most fascinating thing is that they do.
