Geophysical Consequences of Tropospheric Particulate Heating: Further Evidence that Anthropogenic Global Warming is Principally Caused by Particulate Pollution

Abstract

The climate science community and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have misinformed world governments by failing to acknowledge tropospheric particulate geoengineering that has been ongoing with ever-increasing duration and intensity for decades, and by treating global warming solely as a radiation-balance issue, which has resulted in a seriously incomplete understanding of the fundamental factors that affect Earth’s surface temperature. Here we review the consequences of tropospheric particulate heating by absorption of short- and long-wave solar radiation and long-wave radiation from Earth’s surface. Generally, black carbon absorbs light over the entire solar spectrum; brown carbon absorbs near-UV wavelengths and, to a lesser extent, visible light; iron oxides are good absorbers, the most efficient being magnetite. Pyrogenic coal fly ash, both from coal burning and from tropospheric jet-spraying geoengineering (for military purposes and/or climate engineering), contains carbon and iron oxides, hematite and magnetite. The recently published climate-science paradigm shift discloses that the main cause of global warming is not carbon dioxide heat retention, but particulate pollution that absorbs radiation, heats the troposphere, and reduces the efficiency of atmospheric-convective heat removal from Earth’s surface. In addition to the World War II data, three other independent lines of supporting evidence are reviewed: (1) Passage overhead of the Mt. St. Helens volcanic plume; (2) Radiosonde and aethalometer investigations of Talukdar et al.; and, (3) convection suppression over the tropical North Atlantic caused by the Saharan-blown dust. The risks associated with the placement of aerosol particulates into the stratosphere, whether lofted naturally, inadvertently, or deliberately as proposed for solar radiation management, poses grave risks, including the destruction of atmospheric ozone. To solve global warming humanity must: (1) Abruptly halt tropospheric particulate geoengineering; (2) Trap particulate emissions from coal-fired industrial furnaces (especially in India and China) and from vehicle exhaust; and, (3) Reduce particulate-forming fuel additives.

“…These results indicate that our observations of the greatest temperature increments at the two altitudes could be related with the peak concentrations of ozone at those altitudes. Atmospheric ozone is known to have two effects on temperature of the Earth; it absorbs solar ultraviolet radiation which heats the stratosphere, as well as absorbs infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface ( Gore, 1992 , Ali et al, 2017 , Herndon and Whiteside, 2019 ). These radiation absorptions heat up the atmosphere at the ozone altitudes.…”

“…Had they have been objective scientists, committed to understanding the true nature of our planet, they might have (but did not!) discovered that particulate pollution, not greenhouse gases, is the main cause of global warming [14,[17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…Gottschalk's presentation was the first indication to me that global warming is mainly caused by particulate pollution as shown in Figure 10. Aerosol particles absorb radiation from the sun and from the earth, become heated, transfer that heat to the atmosphere, which reduces atmospheric convection, thus reducing surface heat loss, causing warming locally and/or globally [91][92][93][94][95][96][97]. I first submitted one of those papers [94] to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, but they rejected it without review.…”

“…For thirty years, scientists involved with the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have assessed climate change without ever mentioning or taking into account the near-daily, near-global jet-emplacement of aerosol particulates into the atmosphere that cause global warming and which take place under auspices of a United Nations' Trojan horse treaty [98,99]. Tabulations of opinions have been used to deceive people regarding the aerial spraying [100,101], but the reality is that the aerosol particulate emplacement harms human health [102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109] and is devastating to environmental health [96,97,103,105,[110][111][112][113][114][115].…”
