First off, hello to all, I am new here, obviously. I am in no way a scientist and not many things about science interest me enough to study it. However I am interested in the environment and would like to know more about it, which is why I am here. Anyhow, here is my question.
I was talking to someone about global warming and the recent studies found on it. Before I go on I must say that the guy I was talking to is basically like me in the science scene. Anyways he told me somewhere he found this deal called global shadowing, and said that while global warming is bad and will worsen throughout the future, global shadowing will actually slow it down and possibly prevent it from doing as much damage as many think it will.
From what he told me, global shadowing is supposed to be how the gases we put into the atmosphere actually "shadow" the earth from the sun, which if they werent there, global warming would speed up and would due to the sea level raise, basically it would flood the world. I was wondering if there is any truth to this. And also, doesnt the water on the earth dissolve anyways? If so wouldnt that actually help out when the ice melts?
Again I am not a scientist and I dont really study the environment, if I just happen to be curious about a certain thing about the environment, I will read up on it. Or ask someone that actually knows what they are talking about. Thanks for reading and sorry if my questions seem stupid.
