onservative media are
grossly distorting a recent study on aerosols' climate impact as a "death
blow to global warming hysteria." But the study's author himself stated in
response that his research does not contradict the scientific consensus on
global warming.
A recent study provided new estimates for the rate at which
aerosols -- tiny particles of matter suspended in the atmosphere - deflect the
sun's rays, measuring what is known as aerosol "radiative forcing."
The study from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, which analyzed
data from 1850 to 1950, found that the level of radiative forcing from aerosols
is "less negative" than commonly believed, suggesting that aerosols
do not cool the atmosphere as much as previously thought.
