Yes, as light pollution radiates the earth's atmosphere with carbon. No one knows exactly how well will it work if EVERYONE turned off their lights, but maybe we can dim our A/C output a bit after a month of dimming lights :D

How do you reduce global dimming?

Global warming is the observed increase in temperature caused by the increase of greenhouse gasses. Greenhouse gasses warm the planet by trapping infrared radiation and slowing its escape into space. Global dimming could roughly be described as the opposite. It is caused by fine particles in the atmosphere (known as "aerosols"). These particles reflect sunlight away, reducing the overall amount of radiation that enters the planet. This has a cooling effect.
