Western States Governors & Global Dimming
Dear Editor
Better late than never! A resolution was agreed by all the Western State Governors to look into Global Warming. Conservative Republicans, John Huntsman, UT, Jim Risch, ID, Frank Murkowsi, AK, Arnold Schwarzenegger, CA joined Democrats Christine Gregoire, WA, Janet Napolitano, AZ, Brian Schweitzer MT and David Freudenthal, WY. Let’s hope they do more than just talk.
PBS Frontline did a fascinating program called Global Dimming, which talked about particulates from airplane contrails and industrial smokestacks etc., that rise up to become clouds, only the extra large particulates make the clouds heavier than normal and bounce the suns rays back at the sun. This has a cooling effect on the planet.
This means that the true results of global warming are being hidden by this cooling phenomena and that global warming could be much worse than previously thought.
