    To be clear,

    It’s not getting darker ON earth, for earthlings

    Earth is reflecting less light back to space.

    Because it is absorbing more energy due to the greenhouse effect (climate change)

      Yup, as I age my eyesight is getting worse but lights are starting to bother me more. At this point I’m ready to join an underground mole society to live out the rest of my days.

      In basic terms, that means our planet is now reflecting less sunlight back into space.

      Sounds like it’s your eyes absorbing it all
