Thought Global Warming was bad?
What about global dimming? Jeremy mentioned this in his LJ recently, and so posted here by popular demand (I love you Jeanne).
"In the three days after 9/11 temperatures across North America rose 1 degree C... from a global climate perspective that is huge."
Summarized pretty well here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_dimming
There is a great documentary here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1027879546389218797&hl=en
Thank God for global dimming? It seems to be helping to compensating for global warming, but yeah... we're screwed if we don't put the brakes on both NOW.
