WHAT! Warming? But they said - - -

They said aerosols, the Asian Brown Cloud may be the best known example, hide the effects of anthropogenic global warming. They said without that protection we would experience much more warming, much faster.

But wait! When someone finally did real science instead of guesswork, turns out:

"We found that atmospheric brown clouds enhanced lower atmospheric solar heating by about 50%.

"[The pollution] contributes as much as the recent increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gases to regional lower atmospheric warming trends," they suggested.

"We propose that the combined warming trend of 0.25 Kelvin per decade may be sufficient to account for the observed retreat of the Himalayan glaciers."

There is another quote worth remembering. One that applies to virtually every bit of MDI, CO2, IPCC global warming "science" you see:

The scientists, from the University of California San Diego and the Nasa Langley Research Center, said

there remained a degree of uncertainty because, until now, estimates had largely been derived from computer models
