Research has shown that  air pollutants from fossil fuel use make clouds reflect more of the surfs rays back into space. This leads to an effect known as global dimming whereby less, heat and energy reaches the earth. At first, it sounds like in ironic  savior to climate change problems. However, it is believed that global dimming caused the droughts in Ethiopia in the 1970s and 80s where millions died. because the northern hemisphere oceans were not warm enough to allow rain formation Global dimming is also hiding the  true  power of global warming. By cleaning up global dimming-causing pollutants without tackling greenhouse gas emissions, rapid warning has been observed and various human health and ecological disasters have resulted, as witnessed during the European heat wave in 2003, which saw thousands of people die. The main impact of global dimming is-
