QUOTE(some_help @ 02/28/07 9:15am)  O'boy. What happened to "practice what you preach.....?"  We talked about this climate changes at work as well.  So it made me kind of wonder........ Any cheap land to buy in the US? Somewhere in the middle (not the coast areas)..  --------------------  Members Of Barbarossa  |

Well, we have global warming ... and now, global dimming according to London's Guardian newspaper. This sure is surprising!
Records show that over the past 50 years the average amount of sunlight reaching the ground has gone down by almost 3% a decade. It's too small an effect to see with the naked eye, but it has implications for everything from climate change to solar power and even the future sustainability of plant photosynthesis. In fact, global dimming seems to be so important that you're probably wondering why you've never heard of it before. Well don't worry, you're in good company. Many climate experts haven't heard of it either, the media has not picked up on it, and it doesn't even appear in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/sto...1108853,00.html This post has been edited by HammaTime: 03/02/07 2:40pm |

The variability of the solar irradiance (total solar energy output) peaked in 1979,
I wondered what was going on that year! Man, it was hot as Hell and now I know! Thanks Hamma! |
