Global dimming and warming.

[Ace Otana]

The burning of fossil fuels only serves to mitigate CO2 what about Methane? Nitrous Oxide, Sulphates?

My point being is that CO2 is a weakling in the Greenhouse gases arsenal.

The whole global warming thing and how CO2 affects our environment is actually far worse than we have ever imagined. Global dimming has been hiding the sheer power that is global warming. If it wasn't for global dimming, we'd probably be in a far worse situation right now. While at the same time, global dimming has already killed millions.

We can't do away with global dimming without dealing with global warming at the same time. Either of them would kill us. Without global dimming, global warming would be far worse.
A 1 degree increase in just three days without air traffic and the contrails produced by them that helps reflect the heat.

There's countless billions of tons of methane hydrate frozen under the oceans. If the planet warms up enough, it'll all be released and if this happens. It'll all be over. After all, all that methane would make all that CO2 look nothing more than a puff of smoke.
Also, it's not by 2050 that'll be the point of no return, it's more like 2030 actually. If not less.
Quite worrying....
