[Peakoil] Global Dimming, Global Warming, and Peak Oil

[alex-po at trevbus.org]

Hi folks,

It'd be interesting to get a complete picture of how Global Warming,
Global Dimming and Peak Oil would interact.

Peak Oil would lead to more coal combustion, and therefore possibly more
CO2, but definitely more particle pollution.

With more particle pollution, you'd expect more dimming, which would
offset some warming.

But particle pollution could dramatically change climate patterns and
increase respiratory disease, just for starters.

It's a complicated picture. It'd be good to see a summary of all these
interacting factors.
