The reality is that I doubt we really have the expertise to understand the secondary effects of much of what we do to the atmosphere, which is why I am dubious about all those who insist that we must do this or that to avoid Armageddon – we just don't know if doing this or that will have a secondary effect that will simply bring a different Armageddon upon us.
A lot of truth in that but it's a council of despair - no point in trying to avoid danger, something's bound to go wrong! []
I think the motive for trying to limit airborne particulates was their direct effect on human health than any global environmental considerations.
