Interesting. Way more information than I want to know but... basically the air is dirtier now and clouds form on particles in the air, thus the clouds now reflect more light than before affecting a cooling of the earth, that may partially cancel global warming. But we are cleaning our skies, thus reducing the amount of global dimming, which is probably not factored into many global warming models at the moment, and thus may increase the rate at which global warming occurs.

Bonjour Vespa,
After having written an article about "global dimming", I had a look at Google. There are 14 pages from bloggers talking about the same subject.
Amazing.
Cheers
Georg
