Texas, the really flat part | That’s the great thing about science, it evolves and reaches new conclusions as more knowledge if bought to light. For instance, your example on global cooling worries from the 70’s is a case in point. While that concern wasn’t actually as widespread as you believe, science has figured out what was in part responsible for a slight cooling trend six decades back and it was attributable to the large amount of particulate atmospheric pollution that increased the atmospheres reflectivity. We’ve greatly reduced those pollution sources since then and that’s amped up our solar gain. |
