I first heard of this only a few months ago, I thought at first this was contradicting the global warming argument and didn't think to much about it.
After watching the documentary below my powers of paranoia began tingling.
The basic premise is that the visible pollution we see from our exhaust, industry or even fires is filling the atmosphere with small particles of
matter that when high in the atmosphere collect water molecules and reflect sunlight away from the earth.
So we have less sunlight hitting the earth while in contradiction the climate is warming. Is pollution holding back the bigger effects of GW? The
problem is cleaning up the atmosphere will result in increased warming.
Or has this contributed to GW already due to efforts to stem the flow of pollution?
Is the so called chemtrail phenomena connected to this? are more particles being released into the atmosphere, to increase the effect? if so to what
purpose? is it for combating GW or to seed secondary catastrophic effects in Africa and Asia by way of effecting rainfall. Some are blaming this for
the massive drought followed by the tragic famine in Ethiopia in the 80s. (hence my paranoia about population reduction.)
So what do think? is this just another angle for the GW fear mongers or is this a real concern? Why aren't we hearing about this?
Sorry for all the questions but that's all I'm left with after watching this.
Global Dimming
I'll just add that I'm not a believer in man made GW, There are plently of threads here for that argument, this is not my intention here. Although
that may be unavoidable because regardless of your opinion about GW I think there is no denying we are responsible for this.
