according to a BBC Horizon prog broadcast about a year ago.
The real effects of global warming are hidden from us by a thin blanket of particulates that block sunlight and diminish the heat reaching the surface (I'm no expert, be gentle).
I remember a detail about an American scientist who first recognised the problem after flights were grounded post 9/11. He noticed an increase in ground temperature as the skies cleared. Other evidence from India, metereological data etc. Quite convincing and if it was on Horizon it demands respect, IMO.
