Brightening


The results of a ten year study show that, in some parts of the world, a greater amount of sunlight is reaching the Earth’s surface. This could be a sign that global dimming is being reversed due to stricter pollution controls and the collapse of the Soviet Union’s dirty industries.

Of course, there isn’t enough data to tell how this is going to affect global warming. I’m trying not to take the pessimistic view.
