Global warming is when the global average annual temperature is generally trending upward. Global cooling is when it is trending downward.A:Global warming is happening now. Global warming is not beyond the control of mankind. It is being caused by our dependence on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which we are burning to produce electricity.
Turning off the sun may cause global cooling
The opposite would be global cooling.
yes
If global cooling means the gradual cooling into an Ice Age, then that has happened in the past and it has taken thousands of years to happen. The present global warming has all happened far faster, in less than 200 years, and is threatening all life on the planet if we can't stop it. Global warming is by far the more dangerous situation.
Either Global Warming or Global Cooling {Cooling caused by either one Asteroid or one Volcano}, depending upon the Circumstances: We Had Best be prepared Either Way.

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.
Bombs have a minimal effect on global warming. The amount of smoke caused and carbon dioxide released is nothing compared to a single car. The amount of effect is increased by the environmental damage a bomb does. Bombs have been blamed for global cooling though. WW1 and WW2 both has cooling during those periods.
adiabatic cooling
Some suggest that in the absence of other factors, there should be a slight cooling at the present time. Whether or not this is true, it is being swamped by a quite rapid warming effect. The consensus of climate scientists is that global warming is happening and is caused substantially by human activities. the last ten years were the warmest since instrumental records began in 1850.
It cools it somewhat. Global cooling occurs after a volcanic eruption when clouds of dust remain in the sky for several days reflecting the sun's rays. This results in a cooling of the atmosphere.
None. There was a slight cooling around the middle of the 20th Century caused by the amount of pollution particles in the air. These were reflecting the sun's rays. When Clean Air Acts began to take effect around the world the air became cleaner and the cooling disappeared.
