It used to be that #globaldimming was a fringe concept, but I see it is even in the pink feeds. It skewers the traditional climate virtue signalers, as it illustrates a more complicated problem than "petroleum bad", "them evils" or "buy an enviro-X". And, this, folks, is where it starts to get real. We are within an insanely complex socio-ecomonic-environmental system that is in #collapse / change, that everybody reading this helped create and benefits from. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/september-broke-the-global-heat-record-by-a-gobsmackingly-bananas-margin-1.1980012
Of course... now that I post this, I see the same quote on the root feed stream and tributaries and the wonderful gobsmackingly bananas bit with "petroleum bad", "them evils", and "buy an enviro-X" as the virtue signaling takeaway. "decline in cooling aerosol pollution from ships" is buried in there. How many know it was the outcome of the law limiting emission, and that this supports the idea of global dimming? Who *actually* cares if we are really fixing the problems if we feel good, right?
