The reason is that the computer models had been overlooking an important factor affecting global temperatures: aerosols, the tiny droplets of chemicals like sulfur dioxide that are produced along with CO2 when fossil fuels are burned in cars and power plants. Aerosols actually cool the planet by blocking sunlight and mask the effects of global warming. Says Tom Wigley, a climatologist at the National...
Some researchers argue that even with these caveats the report overstates the case. Says Richard Lindzen, an atmospheric scientist at M.I.T.: "The margin of error in these models is a factor of 10 or more larger than the effect you're looking...
