Hmm, I’d like confirmation by other scientists… (although it’s supposed to snow tonight!)
It’s not that the sun is dimming. It’s that it is cloudier and smoggier so the average incident radiation is decreasing.
From the studies they cite it is difficult to tell if this is in fact a global phenomenon or just localized to developed/urban areas.
