"So cleaning them up, which we should anyway for health reasons, could increase global warming." Umm, you do realize that has already happened?

Ted, > The only reason I don't see it as a big issue is because GW encourages the reduction of pollutants in the air which benefits everyone even if there is no global warming. Funny thing is that some of those pollutants actually reflect some sunlight back into space, causing the opposite of a greenhouse effect. An "aluminum foil" effect, if you will. So cleaning them up, which we should anyway for health reasons, could increase global warming. The Law of Unintended Consequences is a funny thing ... What I know is that adverse conditions brought on by humanity negativity effects plants and animals. Reversing those adverse conditions leads to improvements in the local ecology.
