… to the environmental left’s histrionic certainty about global warming and its causes.
According to scientists, including Dr. Veerabhadran Ramanathan, one of the world’s leading climate scientists, black carbon accounts for 18% of the planet’s warming and likely represents an even greater cause of glacial melting around the world. And black carbon arises primarily from poor cooking stoves in developing countries.
Black carbon was not even mentioned in the 2007 summary report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that pronounced the evidence for global warming to be “unequivocal.”
So much for all the certainty…. Let’s get the facts straight before we wreck our economy.
