"Clean air is bad, too! Forget pollution, it's the clean air heating up the planet. Just in time for our global warming versus global dimming debate, European researchers are reporting that the solar dimming in the 1950s-70s kept warming in check, while the environmental protection actions taken by developed nations around the world in the 1970s and 80s have made the air clearer, allowing more of the sun's heat through and making the planet hotter. From the article: "There is always this argument that maybe the whole temperature rise wasn't due to greenhouse warming but due to solar variations," he told the BBC News website. "During the solar dimming we had really no temperature rise. And only when the solar dimming disappeared could we really see what is going on in terms of the greenhouse effect, and that is only starting in the 1980s." This does not, of course, prove that there is no global warming. It is a powerful reminder, however, of how little we really know. My advice? Use more hair spray if you want to avoid the oncoming train of global warming. Posted by PatHMV " centristcoalition.com
