Re: Global dimming?
Thanks for sticking with it up until now, and sorry if I came across a bit intense at times. I occasionally do get carried away. In the process of responding to your claims and websites, I also learned a lot in this discussion and it was quite valuable for me.
As for the article, as usual I am going to have to disagree with New Scientist on this one. I can say "if the sun's power output reduces by 1% we will fall into an ice age". This does not mean I am predicting an ice age. Similarly, Rasool and Schneider said that if aerosols increase temperatures may fall and we may fall into an ice age. Since they have not continued to increase (I think aerosol concentrations have actually been declining) I do not see this as a prediction of an ice age under today’s conditions.
