I was preparing for my Water Resource midterm exam and i stumble across this, Global Dimming. With lots of curiousity,i went on to research about it to know what is that. It is related to the Global Warming. Global Warming heats up, Global Dimming cools down. In short,it's cooling effect that slows down the Global Warming Effect. With the reduction of visible pollutant particles back in the 80s with cleaner fuels, the Global Dimming effect is reducing,at the same time, the existing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is speeding up the global warming effect,since there are less cooling. Therefore,more warming. We can see that the climate is getting warmer and the rain is getting heavier. Climate change isnt a hoax.

Just enjoy the documentary. It's a good one by BBC. You'll get a much better idea of it after watching the documentary.











My comments:

I think something has to be done on a global scale as this is much worse than what i have researched on global warming. Fuel and coal burning has to reduced or removed completely as they are the main culprit of this problem. What i have seen so far, there is little being done to stop global warming.

It's quite disturbing to know that the global warming could be happening even faster than what we know. The impact of this isnt any less disturbing than the fact.

Lets discuss about this.
