His funding is taken care of if he can convince enough rubes to buy his bullshit.

Unfortunately according to the article, they too are bad; without external electricity and active supervision they will EXPLODE showering the earth in radiation.

So a guy who isn't a climate scientist is offering an opinion to a kook blog. Duly noted.

Quickly, raise taxes its the only way to be sure.

Better idea would be for everyone who believes in this bullshit to off themselves to help save the planet from their Co2 contributions.

Do you really read a website called truth-out.org?

Well, to their credit at least they've learned that making predictions a mere 20 years in the future is a bad idea.

Industrial activity continually adds reflective particles into earth's atmosphere. Particularly well known are sulfates produced by burning coal ("clean coal" has a lower concentration of sulfates than "dirty coal"). These particles reflect incoming sunlight, thus artificially cooling the planet.

These reflective particles constantly fall out of the atmosphere, but industrial activity continuously adds them, too. When industrial activity ceases, all the particles will fall out within a few days. As a result, earth will lose its "umbrella" and rapid warming of the planet will ensue. According to a 2011 paper by James Hansen and colleagues, the warming will add 1.2 plus or minus 0.2 degrees Celsius. Subsequent research indicates the conservative nature of this paper, suggesting termination of industrial activity will add a minimum of 1.4 degrees Celsius to the global average temperature.

So wait. Dirty coal dooms the planet. Clean coal saves the planet, but then it reduces the "umbrella" of sulfates that reflects incoming sunlight, therefore dooming the planet.

Fuck off.

Sounds like he's advocating building more coal-powered factories - the dirtier the better.

No they don't. They don't "believe" anything. They are regurgitating what was told to them in the name of their AGENDA.

I really wish I had taken a picture of the giant poster I was in 1998 that showed the projected sea level in 2013 because of global warming.
Florida was gone. Half the east coast had moved inland a hundred miles or so.

It was so close to being right.
