This claim is rooted in the willfully negligent reading of a NASA press release by a U.K. tabloid’s “science and paranormal correspondent”.
Though a bit of misinformation about NASA's supposedly having said that the burning of fossil fuels actually cools the Earth's climate dates back to December 2015, it was recently dug up and reposted on the conservative website Louder with Crowder on 27 January 2017. In the site'sThe latest talking point to march to its death? Fossil fuels cause global warming. Because they don’t. In fact, NASA says they’re actually causing temporary global cooling. That sound you hear? Dying dreams.
Environmentalists have long argued the burning of fossil fuels in power stations and for other uses is responsible for global warming and predicted temperature increases because of the high levels of carbon dioxide produced — which causes the global greenhouse effect. Climate modeling has as its goal the creation of a plausible simplification of the global climate system based on physics and historical data. These models are refined and tested, over time, by comparing multiple iterations of their results from a known historical starting point, and analyzed to see how well the models output matches the historical record.
These unique ensembles allow us to replicate climate sensitivity calculations in a ‘perfect model’ framework, in which we have all the information we need to determine transient and equilibrium sensitivities using previously published methods, which can be compared to the actual TCR and ECS of the GISS-E2-R model.
In other words, the study found that estimates of how much global warming could be expected in the long term from release of CO2 used in current climate models , are actually too low, because they are masked by a stronger than assumed short-term dampening effect from fossil fuel aerosols and the effect of deforestation ., Gavin Schmitt, one of the authors of this study, said:
