Globe Grows Darker as Sunshine Diminishes 10% to 37%

In the second half of the 20th century, the world became, quite literally, a darker place.

Defying expectation and easy explanation, hundreds of instruments around the world recorded a drop in sunshine reaching the surface of Earth, as much as 10 percent from the late 1950's to the early 90's, or 2 percent to 3 percent a decade. In some regions like Asia, the United States and Europe, the drop was even steeper. In Hong Kong, sunlight decreased 37 percent.

Let me follow this. Less sun. Less global warming. And I thought scientists were concerned that there was global warming.

Global Warming is unequivocally the result of the immense, and continual release of kultursmog from W43rd street in Manhattan.

BWAHAHahahahaaaa!!!

And here I thought it was from the continual release of hot air from capitol hill in D.C.

[hobbes1]

I think that there are probably regional contributors...lol

It's the NY Times, It can't possably be true.
Their science editor was using his cameras light meter
and took a reading through his BMW's tinted window.
He then has Chicken Little jazz up the data and then asked
Al Franken to give his opinion. Then they took a global warming statement from Al Gore and had it translated by
Carrol Mosley Braun.
It's now ready for wraping fish.

[Always Right]

The single largest source of global warming comes from the manipulation of data by the so-called scientists....

[anniegetyourgun]

I'm glad you clarified this whole thing. It takes simplification for those of us who apparently "just don't understand science" according to the NYT.

[AZhardliner]

The real cause of the problem comes from the liberal establishment located in NYC and Boston, specifically the Great Blovator - Teddy K. - the hero of Chappaquidik (sp?).

[BfloGuy]

Should lead to a drop in skin cancers. Isn't that good?

[Cheeeeze]

Some say it was much hotter a thousand years ago.
I wonder how men burning fossil fuel caused that one?

And Nasa said Mars had water in 'liquid' form at one point
too. So how hot was it on Earth then? And how did George
Bush cause that one?

[dufekin]

I doubt that Mary Jo Kopechne would agree with your assessment of Ted Kennedy as the hero of Chappaquiddick UNLESS she were alive to tell of it.

Kennedy is a murder, plain and simple--except that he's a Democrat Senator, which is a defense for murder in Massachusetts (kinda like "self-defense" and "duress").
