    - That site showed a cooling trend from fine aerosol particles reflecting solar energy back into space. They were then banned. - Bacon May 3, 16:13 8
      - I know you're half trolling, but aerosol means solid particles that are suspended in air. Smoke is an aerosol. - Roger More May 3, 16:21 7
        
        The way to cure global warming is to have a huge supervolcano errupt. - Bacon May 3, 16:24 6
        
        BTW I think science will fix Global Warming. I really do not worry about it. -- nm - Bacon May 3, 16:26 5

        science can fix the immutable laws of science. sounds like a plan -- nm - pixitude May 3, 16:29
This is a wildly overblown and overemphasized point. - Reagen May 3, 16:03
