While global dimming was cooling daytime temperatures, the increased greenhouse effect was warming the nights (Wild et al 2007).
There have been articles as far back as the 70s concerning global dimming but it's only very recently, apparently, that all of the probable causes (e.g. the microscopic particles causing smaller water droplets in clouds, enhancing the mirror effect, as well as contrails) have been understood.
Aerosols are the only way global dimming can be made to match the models.
But at the same time as warming the planet, pollution from coal power plants, airplanes and other sources of industrial soot, aerosols and sulfates are artificially cooling the planet by filling the atmosphere with reflective particles, a process known as global dimming.
