The whole world is going to be like Portland soon, according to scientists who study declining solar radiation:
It turns out that Ohmura was the first to document a dramatic effect that scientists are now calling “global dimming”. Records show that over the past 50 years the average amount of sunlight reaching the ground has gone down by almost 3% a decade. It’s too small an effect to see with the naked eye, but it has implications for everything from climate change to solar power and even the future sustainability of plant photosynthesis. In fact, global dimming seems to be so important that you’re probably wondering why you’ve never heard of it before.
The Mossback recommends 10K Metal Halide lamps for combatting emotional problems related to a lack of sunlight, and surmises that much of the world’s recent conflict may be related to Portlandization.
