The earth my be getting warmer, but it's getting darker - the amount of
solar radiation reaching the surface has decreased by some 10% in the last
30 years or so. I read it in a magazine, but it's no doubt on line
somewhere...

That already happens here in midsummer. Not quite that bad, but 10 minutes
of noon sun will produce a definite pink hue to the skin that evening. In
the new UV Index notation, yesterday peaked at 12 where I live. It's
especially dangerous because the sun doesn't feel "hot", and
daytime temperatures rarely exceed 25C.

It's ironic that people who are too smart to engage in politics are
governed by people who are not as smart.
