As it turns out, the sun and cleaning up pollution is contributing to climate change.

One of the most frustrating aspects of covering science and technology news is the continuous media blackout on reports showing the impact of geology and the Sun on the complex behavior of the Earth’s climate.

For example, Science just published an article claiming that the reduction of sulfur-particulate pollution from ships diminished the cloud coverage and resulted in even more global warming than the dreaded fossil-fuel-generated carbon dioxide generated by itself.

As it turns out, the policies environmentalists advocate for, like reductions in ship sulfur emissions, actually contribute to climate change. Scientists are now realizing the sun plays a larger role in degrees of heat and light, and they seem to be realizing that reducing pollution too much makes climate change worse, not better.

The amount of carbon dioxide humans produce is miniscule compared to pollution made by natural sources like volcanoes.
