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.
Global dimming is a decrease in the amount of sunlight landing on earth that was measured between 1950 and 1990.It was caused by pollutants ('particulates') like sulphate aerosols ('floaters') in the air which absorbed and/or reflected solar energy, producing a slight cooling of the atmosphere, hiding the build-up of greenhouse gases.Anti-pollution laws gradually made the air cleaner and the cooling effect also disappeared. There is now no global dimming.
carbon dioxide water carbon particulates (add to global dimming)
The present levels of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere are causing global warming and climate change.
Yea, whatever!
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.
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 is caused (in theory) by the contrails of planes flying at high altitudes. It is primarily a fools errand to chase this logic. Albedo is a desired issued according to most and this is such a small amount of added albedo to our planet. It is basically alarmist foolishness.
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.
Global dimming was a time in the last century when temperatures were cooler because there was so much pollution in the air that it reflected away some of the sunlight. This was not a good situation. If global dimming returned the earth might be cooler, but the air would be more polluted causing lung diseases and other undesirable effects.

because it's effect a lot of everything
Keep the air clean with Clean Air Acts around the world.
