Weblog Sin Pies

By Mike Bijon

The 5.5 billion hairless apes with opposable thumbs living on this planet started cleaning up the air a few decades back. A new study reveals that banning smokey cars and all the best spray-can propellants has made the air cleaner, but removing certain pollutants increases the number and severity of hurricanes coming to wash the hairless apes off pricey oceanfront properties. The recent study Clean Air, Global Warming Mean More Hurricanes is bound to be interpreted and twisted wrong many ways in coming years. Industrialists may be rejoicing, but the rest of us really can’t seem to win. What would the dinosaurs say now?

The aerosols essentially dimmed sunlight over the North Atlantic and masked the effect of global warming there over those decades.

No, that’s not what the dinosaurs would say. That’s what the article says. Try to keep up, will you? I may be a simple hairless ape, but I know when I’m being mocked. Aerosols “masked” the effects of global warming? Environmentalists, politicians — discuss please.

Other than giving people a bunch of new things to argue about, how will the the study affect us? Unless you’re the arguing-type, the only thing that you’re likely to take away is that buying a private island in the Caribbean may not be a good idea anytime soon. I guess we at Weblog Sin Pies are going to have to figure out someplace else to relocate.
