Lines to read before and after realising that it’s a big difference between a ”paradigm” and a sound thesis. The former can be all and nothing. The later call for new analyse of old ”results” whenever new information about our World gets up on the table….

Two scientific papers released last week combine for a powerful 1-2 haymaker, but, rest assured, Bozo springs eternal. The first says that human aerosol emissions are not that responsible for offsetting the warming influence of greenhouse gas emissions, while the second finds that the observed warming from human greenhouse gases is less than a lot of people think.
