Global dimming as a result of the atmospheric brown clouds (ABCs) of black carbon and other particulates that circle the globe (aka aerosols) is having a profound effect on climate change, global warming, plants, animal migration patterns, and food production worldwide. In many parts of the world the primary source of the brown clouds is cooking fires. Lots of people talk about global warming, but global dimming is a very serious problem that is not getting the attention it should. Educate yourself on the subject of global dimming so that you can become part of the solution and help to educate others. Unlike CO2, the brown clouds would clear quickly if we stopped sending smoke up in the first place. Solar cooking technology can do more than any other single area of technology to cut back on global dimming.
