And had you looked up both theories, and read the relevant information you'd know that in some areas of the world, there is a cloud of pollution that blocks sunlight. In other areas, people are speculating about a stronger amount of sunlight. The areas shift to some degree, but it's not planetwide either way.

It's a big planet. Nothing is worldwide.

Even the Little Ice Age was a relatively local phenomenon. And temporary.

A few years ago we were all going to die because of the hole in the ozone...way too much sunlight. Now we're having fits about blocking the sunlight and getting too little.

A little realism, not to mention balance, in our perception would be nice.
