The first step to solving a problem is to blame someone or something.
In this case, it's all the aerosols and particulates that burning
forests, jet condensation trails, and fossil fuels has dumped into the
atmosphere. Throw in a few volcanoes for good effect. All that
causes "global dimming", general cooling, and may conceivably
precipitate another ice age through loss of albedo:

What's lacking is a catchy name. "Global Warming" and "Climate
Change" have an alarmist apocalyptic ring to them. Something equally
dramatic should be selected. "Global Dusting" just doesn't sound
right. Although awkward, perhaps "Global Loss of Albedo" will suggest
to the GUM (great unwashed masses) that this is a serious loss of
something they never knew they had. Dunno. Hire a PR company.
As always, don't forget to conclude all publications with "More
research is necessary" to insure continued funding.
Maybe tie it to libido ?:-)
