Next Up, Global Dimming!!

Okay so we've gone through global cooling, global warming, and we are now talking climate change, next up is global dimming!! You heard it here first folks!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_dimming

Global dimming is the gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth's surface, observed since the beginning of systematic measurements in 1950s. The effect varies by location, but worldwide it is of the order of a 4% reduction over the three decades from 1960–1990. This trend may have reversed during the past decade. Global dimming creates a cooling effect that may have partially masked the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming.

Is anyone else out there as sick and tired of all this "global" junk science as I am? We need to start counting the number of times that scientists use the word MAY.

Global warming MAY ....
Global cooling MAY....
Greenhouse gasses MAY....
Global dimming MAY

MAYbe that's why the Greens elected MAY as there leader!! Makes sense to me.
