To battle Global Dimming we could try to reduce aeroplane
contrails and to be done on a Global scale we would see a large
increase in Global Warming.

Global dimming is a gradual reduction of global direct
irradiance, or electromagnetic radiation, that hits the Earth's
surface. The process interferes with the hydrological cycle.

Global dimming stops the sun's heat and light reaching the
earth. If this lasts for a long time it could cause much loss of
life. Global dimming is one suggestion for the death of the
dinosaurs.

Global dimming occurs when the clouds in the sky reflect the
sun's energy back into space. It is also caused by greenhouse
gasses. Global dimming can be dangerous because it indirectly
causes crops to die, and the waters in the world's oceans to become
cooler.

When a powerful volcano erupts, it sends dark clouds of ash into
the atmosphere. These dark clouds block out the sun's rays, causing
global dimming.
