Sorry. Our smog, and Europe's, would be cumulative with China's, and, without our laws, we would be cooled by 2 or 3 degrees instead of 1. In our case, with 50% more people, we would make China's air look clean. Between the 1950s and the early 1990s, the level of solar energy reaching the Earth's surface had dropped: nine percent in Antarctica, 10 percent in areas of the U.S.A., by almost 30 percent in one region of Russia, and by 16 percent in parts of the British Isles. This seemed to be a global phenomenon, so Gerry gave it a suitable name: "global dimming." pbs.org
