The paper is not about world temperatures decreasing. It is about how pollution can obstruct / reflect sunlight energy.
This same soundbyte spin occurred with the
Tsonis paper. That paper also was touted as proof of global cooling. Touted because that poster did not bother to read the paper. He only heard a soundbyte - and that was enough to *know*.
Tsonis paper was about a new simulation technique. But those inspired by a political agenda only heard the irrelevant, erroneous soundbyte conclusion. Global cooling. That soundbyte was sufficient to be an expert?
Global cooling was irrelevant to Tsonis' purpose. A global cooling mistake only reported because his simulation failed. But extremists only heard a soundbyte conclusion. Did not read every detail and number like it was more important than a hardon.
You saw what was irrelevant to a PNAS paper. Then touted the irrelevant as a fact. Chart from The Economist demonstrate what science really says.
Coign did same. He never read any of those 117 papers. He only recited extremist propaganda. 'Brainwashing by soundbyte'. Extremist Congressman did same with Dr Muller. As extremists with a political agenda, they also ignored details and numbers. In every case to prove a political myth - global cooling.
Why do extremists do this? They are told what to believe - facts, details, and numbers be damned. Extremists cannot be bothered to think scientifically or logically. Apparently are taught only how to believe, invent, and recite propaganda. No wonder wacko extremist White House lawyers had to rewrite so many science papers.
Your paper says global warming is due to mankind. More specifically, it says mankind's generation of greenhouse gases ARE creating global warming. More details that contradict your global cooling conclusions.
They rushed Dr Muller to Congressional testimony because soundbytes (and the Koch brothers) said he would prove global cooling. Knowledge from soundbytes. Another example of deception and evil because they did not bother to do what educated people must always do - learn details and numbers. Coign, the Tsonis paper, and Dr Muller are previous examples of what your PNAS citation has done.
Coign cited 117 papers as proof when he did not even read one. Soundbytes and junk science reasoning are sufficient to be expert? Don't waste time getting educated. And so our younger generation males have less education than their parents. Fertile ground for wacko extremists such as Limbaugh, Beck, and Hannity.
