Uh Oh, It Seems that Cosmic Rays and CFCs may Cause Global Warming and Not Carbon

This must be hell on earth for the whole Climate Change crowd. First the leaked emails showing that they have been cooking the data and now a paper saying that CFCs and Cosmic Rays might be the cause of warming and not CO2.

In his paper, Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, shows how CFCs - compounds once widely used as refrigerants - and cosmic rays - energy particles originating in outer space - are mostly to blame for climate change, rather than carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. His paper, derived from observations of satellite, ground-based and balloon measurements as well as an innovative use of an established mechanism, was published online in the prestigious journal Physics Reports.

I wonder if the Climate Research scientists are going to ostracize Physics Reports because they dared to introduce this apostasy? I guess we have to blame the imminent death of polar bears on cosmic rays shooting toward the planet and from old refrigerators since carbon might not be the cause:

His conclusions are based on observations that from 1950 up to now, the climate in the Arctic and Antarctic atmospheres has been completely controlled by CFCs and cosmic rays, with no CO2 impact.

"Most remarkably, the total amount of CFCs, ozone-depleting molecules that are well-known greenhouse gases, has decreased around 2000," Lu said. "Correspondingly, the global surface temperature has also dropped. In striking contrast, the CO2 level has kept rising since 1850 and now is at its largest growth rate."

I think we should give trillions of dollars to the Third World right now so they can build a still to be invented cosmic ray blocker module at once. I mean think of the polar bears and those massive tidal waves swamping all coastal cities at the same time. What will Al Gore do with all those carbon offsets?
