Global dimming
El oscurecimiento global es un fenómeno que se observa desde los años cincuenta y que consiste en la reducción gradual de la cantidad de luz solar que alcanza la superficie de la Tierra.
Se cree que está producido por la cantidad de hollín que hay en la atmósfera y que procede de la actividad del hombre, principalemente de la industria y el transporte.
