Global Dimming

Directed by BBC.
Pollution is shielding the oceans from the full power of the Sun, and disrupting the pattern of the world-s rainfall. There is evidence that dimming caused the droughts in sub-Saharan Africa which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in the 1970s and 1980s. Alarmingly the dimming continues today, and Asia, home to half the world-s population is currently under threat.
