Overall, the planet was about .05 degrees (.03 degrees Celsius) warmer for the year because the air had fewer cooling aerosols, which unlike carbon dioxide is pollution you can see, the study found.

"No no, see, the smog that surrounds our concrete beehives is actually eco-friendly! It's the exhaust from rednecks rolling coal and (specifically) American factories that's killing the planet!" Welcome to 2021, where democrats are fine with city smog but are terrified of pollution you can't even see.

I'm still waiting to hear an assessment of how much damage has been done to the planet for VW lying and pouring toxic gases into the air for decades all over Europe and US. Is warming a bigger issue than actual pollution and poison?

I'm still waiting for the people who know about that to learn that all of the car manufacturers were doing it, not just VW that someone wanted to shortsell.

I've always suspected as much but VW was large enough that it should have been sufficient to cause the whole environmental movement to come crashing down and give an explanation of themselves and why we even have them.
