Cleaner Air Adds To Global Warming

shmlco writes "In the "You Can't Win For Losing" department, an article on the BBC web site is reporting that reduced air pollution and increased water evaporation appears to be adding to man-made global warming. Research presented at a major European science meeting adds to other evidence that cleaner air is letting more solar energy through to the Earth's surface. Burn fossil fuels, you make things worse. Clean up your act, and you make things worse. Is it time to set off a few nukes and see if nuclear winter can cool things down?"

    I've always wondered what would be the effect of letting off a nuke (or two) somewhere where there's loads of ice covering land.

    Like Greenland, or Antarctica.

    Any ideas?

    But you're the guy who claimed he read the Star Wars kid article and flamed me because I didn't.

    And if you had read the article, you would have realized that what you claimed was stated in the article clearly isn't, and in fact the opposite is stated.

    So this guy might not be citing his sources, but you're a liar.
