Lovelock’s main concern was not warming caused by the greenhouse effect, however, but the prospect of a precipitous drop in temperatures caused by the localised cooling influence of atmospheric pollution. But the authors theorised that localised cooling caused by air pollution might counteract the greenhouse effect.

In fact, there are so many crops getting irrigated , water is evaporating off them and cooling summer days in parts of the Midwest, like central Wisconsin, countering some of the warming from climate change. Rising temperatures have also dried the soil, raising wildfire risks.
