Air pollution is cooling

I had poor grades in science at high school but have maintained common sense during the last 60 years. Unlike some scientists and legislators who have an agenda and manipulate facts and studies to achieve their goal, I just use my observances, past experiences and common sense when analyzing global warming.

What caused the Ice Age? Air pollution. i.e. comet debris clouds/volcanic ash, smoke and debris. When the atmosphere started to clean up, global warming started slow but sure.

If Earth’s atmosphere was to be clear of all contaminants, the ultra-violet rays would destroy much and temperatures would rise rapidly. Think of pollution-free areas like the Australia outback, Sahara or Gobi deserts or Death Valley. Mountainous regions are where clouds/smoke/pollution congregate to blot sun rays and create a cooling effect.

The best part of a ultra-hot clear sky day is when it is invaded by a lonely cloud (pollution) to give a brief shadow as it passes.

Be careful of what you wish for as “Every action has a reverse action” and not all scientists and politicians have active brains as they press for fame and fortune.
