That is true. In fact, global dimming is probably helping us more than its hurting us at the moment. But as time goes along we will need to address this issue. Given that most life on Earth is based on photosynthesis-created chemical energy, I wonder what the impact of a century or more of greatly reduced sunlight will have on the already stressed ecosystem.
