I come to these threads not to read the idiocy in the article, but to see a photo of Goebbels.

And there is no way that solar activity might have anything to do with any of this. It’s definitely your SUV. Definitely.

...discovered a surprising dimming.

Of course it’s Global Warming!

It’s responsible for everything - well, except for the parts that mean ol’ Trump is responsible for.

If we get to 98% vax compliance the shine will certainly return. /s

Even if everything in this article is true, how is it supposed to affect us? It’s not like we have people living in a moon base, who will complain that the earth isn’t as bright as it used to be.

“They hypothesize the underlying cause could be related to climate change”

Of course they do.

Another learned little "author" who writes crappola and pegs the gaydar....

Once again I cannot imagine any real scientist saying this without suggesting a mechanism. It’s just silly.

More albedo = more energy being reflected back into space from the Sun = Earth cooler = shut up stupid!

1/2 percent. In other words within the margin of error.

RUSH: “Earthshine”

“On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is a slender crescent
It’s circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence”

Could also be the buildup of semen deposited in the author’s eyes.

Trump’s Fault #3,487,906,542,176. Really, it is the fault of capitalism, the fault of SUVs and Pickups. Stupid article written by a moron...

Here we go again. The ritualistic clutching of pearls about poor, poor Mother Earth. The earth can be surprisingly resilient at times, unassisted by man. I recall several stories of oil tankers accidentally releasing incredibly enormous amounts of crude into the oceans.

After several weeks of rage and hysteria in the news, there was evidence that a large portion of this crude oil was somehow reabsorbed into the earth. I’m no geologist, so this is a very simplified explanation, but sometimes the earth is far stronger than we give it credit for.

OMG the sky is falling, the sky is falling... /s

Solar panels are built to specifically restrict sunlight reflection.
