Conclusion that fossil fuels and carbon emissions lead inexorably to higher global temperatures isn't supported by the evidence of the last 19 years. Here it is for the slower folks who still think it's possible to predict global temperatures out over a 100 years from now:

"TCR is characteristic of short-term predictions, up to a century out, while ECS looks centuries further into the future, when the entire climate system has reached equilibrium and temperatures have stabilised."

The spokesman said it was "well known" that aerosols such as those emitted in volcanic eruptions and power stations, act to cool Earth, at least temporarily, by reflecting solar radiation away from the planet.

He added: "In a similar fashion, land use changes such as deforestation in northern latitudes result in bare land that increases reflected sunlight."

Kate Marvel, a climatologist at GISS and the paper’s lead author, said the results showed the "complexity" of estimating future global temperatures.

What is the downside of cleaner energy?
It promotes investment and growth.
It leaves us with cleaner air.
It leaves us with a better looking and healthier environment.
