IT WOULD BE IF IT WASN'T

Here's some lateral scientific thinking:

Global warming looks set to be much worse than previously forecast, according to new research. Ironically, the crucial evidence is how little warming there has been so far.

Three top climate researchers claim that the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere should have warmed the world more than they have. The reason they have not, they say, is that the warming is being masked by sun-blocking smoke, dust and other polluting particles put into the air by human activity.

The next thing you know we'll be told that the particulates from coal fired power plants cancel out the carbon dioxide. Best not to think about it until the super-brains figure out what, if anything, is really going on with climate.
