Are China’s factories keeping a lid on global temperatures?

The results of a new climate study released this month may hold significant implications for the battle to constrain global warming; they may answer the climate sceptics’ argument that “global warming stopped in 1998”, raise a horrible dilemma over actions to tackle climate change and control acid-rain pollution, and add weight to calls for geo-engineering of the earth’s atmosphere to stop global warming.
The study, by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), suggests that rapid industrial growth in Asia, particularly China, where air pollution controls are not as strict as North America or Europe, has seen large emissions of global-cooling sulphur pollution into the atmosphere since 2000. This may explain why it is that, when global warming emissions of carbon dioxide rose sharply along with this industrial expansion, global temperatures over the decade did not rise any higher than the record year of 1998.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

So 1998 was the hottest…………
This has been a scam from day one……
First convincing people that the “normal” zero line is at the very tip top of every temperature reconstruction…….
What Idiot can look at a temperature reconstruction and say the “normal” temperature is there?
Just amazing….simply amazing bit of logic.
Asking a Gaia Zealot how to disprove anthropogenic global warming is like asking a muslim jihadist how to disprove the existence of Allah.
Ha Ha! Good one!
