Global Dimming From Pollution Masking Global Heating From CO2 Gases

If you weren't already worried about global heating, you will be after watching this 49 minute BBC documentary. It seems that particle pollution has been masking CO2 effects. As we reduce pollution, we are increasing global heating! Therefore, we have to act NOW to reduce CO2 gasses. How do we do that? The same way we are taking back the American government and voting integrity from the hands of policy-makers and bureacrats who can't withstand the lure of lobbying dollars. We do it with personal commitment -- one person, family, community and state government -- at a time. Join me on Action Point this upcoming Sunday when I catch up with one man and his family Action Point is following this year and who is doing just that. Sandy Clark, one in the 7500+ member ad hoc group known as the Compact is committed to personally reducing CO2 gas by buying "nothing new" one year at a time. Just in case you are wondering how the world could look if you choose to personally do nothing (not the same as 'buying nothing'), consider this:

Even the most pessimistic forecasts of global warming may now have to be drastically revised upwards. That means a temperature rise of 10°C by 2100 could be on the cards, giving the UK a climate like that of North Africa, and rendering many parts of the world uninhabitable. That is unless we act urgently to curb our emissions of greenhouse gases.

UPDATE 02-02-2007 Since global heaing is so important that once and for all putting the flat-earth thinkers out of their misery (i.e. exposing their piss-poor reasoning for the industry- sotted propoganda that it is) we need to know who are said industry-sotted propogandists and how they spin.

Find out about one group yourself with this 'response' from (ahem) Shopfloor.com, a website of the National Association of Manufacturers (no conflict of interest there).

Hansen says that as we cut back on pollution, the global dimming will stop and guess what comes next? A whole heckuva lot of warmed over inconvenient truth. It's a kinda warming-cooling-warming thingy. As Ralph Kramden would say, "Hummina, hummina, hummina...." It's enough to make a real scientist go batty.

Well, glad you explained that. Now, let's go shopping...
