Now that global dimming has been proven world over, just remember to appreciate that blue, blue sky next time a strong storm blows over your neighborhood. Very interesting studies were conducted after a scientist noticed that the sky in the U.S. was amazingly clear blue during the time when all planes were grounded on 9/11. If all carbon exhaust stays in our atmosphere for 100 years regardless of what we do reduce the effects of the increased carbon volume in our air, shouldn’t air travel technology be targeted as an area where improved technologies are needed. Shouldn’t the scientists begin talking about the need to look at reducing air travel. I know that just about nobody wants to think about this idea but the writing is in the air.
Wikipedia.org stresses that global dimming is masking the effect of global warming. In other words, if the human race began a compassionate effort to save our human race, our grandchildren and their children will see the effects of global warming on a truly frightening scale when the 100 years worth of lingering carbon resolves itself. Can we find the right leadership to think with integrity and a good heart? Is the term good heart to sugary for people to digest?
We need to put all who are still in denial on 12 step program to deal with the reality presented by the IPCC, the Stern report, NRDC.org.
