the temp change in those days was over 1 degC bigger than anything seen before
normally change is of 0.2 variety
Is there a paper on that? Would be interesting to read it, and see the scientific background, and not to sound cynical see who its by.
Personally, to me that sounds like its like the study that walkings worse for the environment than driving, I could write a paper saying that cos Ive not left the house and not used any gas/electricity due to a massive hangover etc for the weekend on monday it was 2 degrees colder, hmmm coincidence or a fact???
Unless I can see proper proof of it and not a "unbiased" report from a newspaper i'll take it with a pinch of salt.
I know that we can make fossil fuels in a lab that take more energy than they release, thats not the point, the point is that with more research other energy will be produced that at the moment we cant get and will produce less emissions. Look at nuclear fission, we can do it, just that we need massive amounts of energy to sustain and control it, because we dont understand it at the moment.
