    If you actually read the fucking article and the source material, do explain the reason for this interesting discrepancy. Why did the Yahoo article feel the need to cut this crucial context from the quote?

    Speaking to Science.org, Maria Rugenstein, a Colorado State University said that the research shows the climate can respond rapidly, and with unexpected repercussions. She said: “I would take this as a cautionary tale.”

    If the findings hold up, Rugenstein says, they also offer a lesson about the potential consequences of intentionally injecting aerosols high into the atmosphere, a geoengineering strategy some have proposed as a way to cool the planet. The study shows the climate can respond quickly, with unexpected repercussions an ocean away. “I would take this as a cautionary tale,” she says.

      The research could offer a warning about efforts in ‘solar geoengineering’ - plans to deliberately reflect heat back into space using aerosols.

      Such approaches - including the idea of spraying aerosols into the air from a fleet of planes - have been debated by academic institutions around the world.

      they literally just broke up the paragraphs

      I can’t believe then when you cut the context out of the yahoo article it no longer has context shocked-pikachu

        They very clearly broke it up in a way that disconnects the two statements removing context from the quote from the scientist, but do go on.

          Reductions in emissions of aerosols from Chinese factories may be partly to blame for recent heatwaves in the Pacific, a new study has said.

          The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that repeated marine heatwaves over the past decade could be linked to reduction in pollution from factories in China.

          “The study”? What study? There’s no context!

          Over the past decade, the north Pacific has experienced multiple such heatwaves – also known as "warm blob” events – leading to fish die-offs, toxic algae blooms and missing whales.

          Such heatwaves have been generally attributed to global warming though it is unknown exactly why it could cause such sudden and variable increases in a specific part of the planet.

          “Such heatwaves”? What heatwaves? There’s no context!

          The entire article is written like this. Every single sentence is its own paragraph other than the last one, which tacks a short quote at the end.
