In competitive academic debate, we've long been reading evidence that we're 'due' for a new period of global cooling and so all the global warming activity is good because it's helping stave off the next ice age.
- gaius 18y agoIndeed, in the 1970s the "green" movement was very worried about a new ice age, and the solutions they proposed to global cooling were, strangely, almost the same solutions now proposed to combat global warming.

Anyway, particulate matter does lower global temperatures but unlike CO2 it does not stay up for vary long.
