The End of the World

Watched a television programme last night called Horizon which covered the issue of global dimming. This is the reduction of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface due to polution in the atmosphere.

The really scary thing is that this effect is actually reducing the impact of global warming, but as the polution levels fall, due to new laws and regulations, the greenhouse gases will really come into their own and global warming will run away with itself.

It is predicted that if the governments of the world don't reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere immediately, Earth will be virtually uninhabitable within a hundred years.

So, knowing how useless governments are at pushing this kind of thing through, tell your children that the world they are inheriting from us is one that is doomed.
