Did anyone see the NOVA this weekend about Global Dimming?
Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 02:26 PM by truebrit71
It was fascinating to watch. The bottom line was that the effect of sun's rays have been significantly degrading over the years due to pollution and that Global Dimming is in fact hiding or masking the true impact of Global Warming. It also showed that now that the industrial world has started to clean up it's emissions the effect of Global Warming could become more pronounced, more rapidly than previously thought...

Fascinating and scary at the same time...

1. Oh, I thought this was about the dimwits running ...
the U.S., Canada, Australia, Burma/Myanmar, Iran, (I won't say Iraq, since it gives no evidence of being run), and so on.

2. Iraq isn't being run so much as run over...
There does seem to be a global dimming of the wits lately, doesn't there?

3. Yes, I saw it on the net a while ago,. It was indeed scary.
Makes you wonder what's going to happen to the temperature when we finally stop burning all that coal...

4. It's been on before.
I posted about it here a few months ago. But yes, absolutely fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
