Never heard of this guy:
Edward Lewis Davison (1898–1970) was a Scottish poet and critic, born in Glasgow. He emigrated to the U.S. and became an academic at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he was involved in the Colorado Writers 1937 conference. The poet Peter Davison is his son.
Global Dimming
Global dimming is the gradual reduction in the amount of global hemispherical irradiance (or total solar irradiance) at the Earth's surface, observed since the beginning of systematic measurements in 1950s. The effect varies by location, but worldwide it is of the order of a 5% reduction over the three decades from 1960–1990. This trend has reversed during the past decade. Global dimming creates a cooling effect that may have partially masked the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming.
and there's lots more!
Cool! Literally.
