This latest Global Dimming 'end of the world scenario' Horizon programme
has me confused. How is this all going to fit in with the previous Horizon
dire prediction a new Ice Age? This documentory was broadcast November
2003 ; has that scenario now changed?


Funnily enough I raised that issue on another newsgroup only yesterday. Here
it is with a reply from a climate modeller.

Cheers, Alastair.

I agree with your general tenor here (though not with the assertion that
sci are saying it *will* get colder; but what gets out into the media may
be less nuanced).
