Today is the Day that Global Warming Jumped the Shark.

I think we’re all in agreement that clean air is a good thing. We enjoy our air pollutant-free and we made a big push a couple of decades back to ban all sorts of things and to curtail our soot and clean up our factories. I mean, who doesn’t like clean air?

I’ll tell you you who doesn’t like it. The Earth. The Earth doesn’t like clean air, at least not quite as much as Woodsy the Owl and that crying Indian led us to believe.

And your children and grandchildren are probably going to want it just a little bit dirty because, as it happens, clean air seems to contribute heavily to global warming.

No, you didn’t read that wrong. It looks like clean air is the next to add to the list of things that are causing global warming.

According to a recent study, there is a corrolation between how clean the air over Europe has gotten in the past 30 years and how much sunlight reaches the ground. The more sunlight, the warmer the planet. In fact, one of the authors of the study says that at least half of the total warming Europe has experienced over the past 30 years is because more of the sun’s rays are hitting the Earth.

My guess is that in thirty years we’ll look back and find that this study is where the Cult of Climate Change well and truly jumped the shark. From today, their explanations are only going to get more ridiculous and hard to believe.

Gore and Company are going to have to do quite a bit of brain-twisting to wedge their love for clean air with their global warming mania, if the trend these scientists found holds up (and there’s not a lot of reason to expect it wouldn’t). That or they’re going to have to admit that the whole thing is a scam that’s largely about gulling the masses, giving the state a fascist-level amount of power of the individual, and making some activists a pile of money. I can’t imagine they’ll admit to the latter, so expect to see this study promptly swept under the rug and not mentioned much by Al Gore or any of his disciples.
