    Crabby wants us to watch 50 minutes of video all the way through before we are allowed to comment?

    Of course his usual MO would then be to label every response that he does not agree with as "off topic".

    BTW I never bother to go to links to read stories or watch videos if the original thread poster is not willing or too lazy to give to us the topic in the nutshell in the OP.

    Global Warming has jumped the shark.

    I think I'll go make some contrails.

    Couple of years ago we left Barstow Cal around 7:30 AM for Kingman, AZ. The sky was clear and blue. No clouds. South of us a a plane at a medium altitude was heading west laying down a chemtrail. that rapidly spread north and south. as we drove several more planes followed in the same direction also laying down chemtrails. By the time we got to Kingman and turned south towards Phoenix the entire sky was gray. Contrails only form at a high altitude and start to dissipate before the plane is out of sight.

    Could it have been when they were spraying chemicals in California like there was no tomorrow to kill all the mosquitos because of the Nile virus scare?

    Contrails can happen at any altitude, and no they do not always start to dissipate before the plane is out of sight.

    You know.. I love watching All in the Family... one reason.. Meathead is always talking about a different crisis that is supposed to end the world in 10-15 yrs... and that was the 70s... liberals never change.. only their agendas do...

    Forget Global Dimming.

    Pray for Global Brightening...

    Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.​

    It's not like conservatives and/or Christians don't worry about the future and try to fix things they think are wrong in the world -- like saving it from the liberals. That's precisely one of the double standards we've often been criticized for, especially in the last 30 years (and clearly sends a mixed message to this world).

    Wrong, Eric. I'm not trying to save the world from anyone. Just another attempt by you to try and play both sides of the issue.

    That wasn't necessarily describing you personally, but it's true that conservatives and Christians often display the same zeal as the liberals for their political goals (that's the point), the same worry about what "they" (the left, etc.) are going to do in the future; and all the complaining; but then we point to Heaven when saying others are wrong to fight for their causes. If that's the case, then no one should bother with politics at all.

    I saw this on "Nova" some time ago.

    So it seems that the same general processes believed to be responsible for warming are also causing dimming, which can reduce warming.

    The irony is that efforts to clean the air, apparently, may result in more warming.

    Interesting indeed, BTW, the scripture supports the idea of global dimming...

    Revelation 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.​

    Despite the commentary from the uninformed (either willingly or other), this is a very interesting topic. Thanks for posting it CTB. Your links were quite interesting.

    As for dismissing the BBC, I find it is one of the best news organizations in the world. Those looking for confirmation of their own biases should probably look elsewhere. Faux News Channel perhaps?

    This scientific community has been crying wolf for some time, but now expect to receive credibility..

    This earth only has to last another 8-12 years anyway so why dedicate trillions of dollars which will begin having an effect in 20 years? The Lord is only going to use this planet another 1000 years anyway, and once He is here, the globe will be fine.. Save the money and put the scientists to work doing something constructive.

    And yes, I watched all of it.
