A very good read which is basically what conclusion that I've come to also.

The one big thing I'm worried about now is the global dimming phenomenon that has been confirmed recently. That has masked the GHG emission effects on temperature. When the jets in North America were grounded for a few days after 9/11 we discovered that temperatures jumped by a few degrees over what they should have been. By comparing ground solar radiation measurements from the 1950's to those recently we have seen up to a 25% reduction in that energy reaching the ground in some areas of the world. PBS's NOVA series did a great show on it about a year ago.

When we finally do clean up these particulates.. Look out for a quick rise in atmospheric temperatures.
