Heh. Try elsewhere for anything LIKE balanced. I'm NOT going to go into the entire flamewar about why.

There has been no serious criticism of the data used in the studies, which show a consistant fall - in ALL parts of the world. Yes, there are problems with a few individual issues with the data, setting them aside makes less than 0.1% of a difference in the result. We know from the post-9/11 shutdown and the data gathered then the high significance of vapour trails. Each and every study done comes up with consistant results. Every single climate model developed without global dimming is, as things stand, a waste of processing time. There is good science to say that cleaning up our atmosphere might be nothing short of dangerous - the data on what would cause a runaway heat reaction is looking gloomier and gloomier as time goes on.
