I think this highlights why these discussions have shifted from "global warming" to "climate change", as stuff like this might give people the impression that global dimming will solve the issues caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Edit, was reading through it - I find it'd be interesting to note that in some cases the dimming effect actually amplifies warming: >Brown clouds have been found to amplify global warming according to Veerabhadran Ramanathan, an atmospheric chemist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA. "The conventional thinking is that brown clouds have masked as much as 50 percent of global warming by greenhouse gases through so-called global dimming... While this is true globally, this study reveals that over southern and eastern Asia, the soot particles in the brown clouds are in fact amplifying the atmospheric warming trend caused by greenhouse gases by as much as 50 percent."
