Earth is 20% darker, say experts

Human activity is making the planet darker as well as warmer, scientists say. They believe levels of sunlight reaching Earth’s surface have declined by up to 20% in recent years because air pollution is reflecting it back into space and helping to make bigger, longer-lasting clouds.
