GlobalicwarmingGlobal Diming (AKA Global Dumping) is a process that works in the opposite direction to Global Warming. Basically, the global diming makes our planet colder instead of warmer (such as the Global warming), but it also decrease the difference in the temperature from day to night, it makes the nights warmer and the days colder.
In the deeper theory, Global Diming is made by particles that we pollute the earth with. Light particles that can step claim up in the air and pollute the clouds. When they are up there, they prevent rain to fall by capturing light water drops so they can't collide with other water drops to create big water drops that can fall as rain.
Did that sound complicated? Think of a big white cloud, it is basically a bunch of small water drops. They are not falling down since they are too small. They must first reach a sufficient size before they finally can fall down to the ground. This means that they have to collide with other water drops first. The problem is that they don't collide with other water drops but instead collide with a particle. The particle can store a lot of drops in his pocket before it will fall down since the particle is often both big and very light.
Those particles will not fall down for a long time in other words. This means that we store big clouds for a longer time before they will rain off. This creates dry periods in the summer, especially in Africa but also in Australia, America, Southern Europe and Asia.
The lack of rain is not the only effect that we can see from this. They are also creating big mirrors (white clouds reflect the sunshine) in our atmosphere. Which leads to a several side effects such as those mentioned above.
We create it mostly buy Jet planes such as Boing 747 and Airbus but we are also creating a little bit of that from our industries and transportation such as(and especially as) diesel-cars.
It reduces the global warming, so these two climate movements are struggling against each other. Right now it seems like Global Warming leads the game by creating a 1 degree warmer climate the latest century. But how much would the Global warming be able to create without the Global diming?
The answer would be incorrect if we answer today, since we know too little about it, but a wild guess is: 4 degrees.
