We've known for decades that the earth is in in a perpetual state otemperate fluctuation. Over thousands of years, the earth has seen numerous ice ages and thaws. Our fear of this change is largely due to incomplete or imprecise data. Humans didn't start acurately measuring GLOBAL temperature trends until the 1960s, and the first trend they saw was cooling. I predict that in 40-100 years, we'll see another slight cooling cycle. Remember, average global temperature has only warmed a fraction of a degree.

a reliable question--and extremely the respond is extremely easy. First, there is enormously sparkling info that international warming replaced into already beginning even till now the Nineteen Seventies. even though, the fee replaced into lots much less (we hadn't dumped almost as lots CO2 into the ambience)--plus the instrumentation for examining such issues replaced into nonetheless in its infancy. So scientists have been basically taking off to recognize the warming variety--yet generally weren't in any respect particular approximately it at that factor. Your question approximately smog is likewise a reliable one. yet--no longer all chemical compounds, and so on. act as greenhouse gases. some ("soot" from many business approaches extremely BLOCK, extremely than catch warmth) don't have a warmth-trapping bring about any respect. lots of the form of pollutants you're bearing on, inspite of the reality that greater easy to be certain, would not catch warmth the way CO2 does. So, for the main section, that style of pollutants, on a similar time because it had very undesirable outcomes (acid rain, respiratory ailments, and so on), did no longer contrigute to international warming.

Oddly enough--global warming causes "global cooling".
