Climatic effects of 1950–2050 changes in US anthropogenic aerosols – Part 2: Climate response http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/12/3349/2012/acp-12-3349-2012.pdf
Reduction in air pollution from coal fired power stations due to environmental regulations since the 1980s has increased regional global warming in the Central and Eastern United States. Climate scientists from the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) found that particulate pollution, particularly from coal fired power stations, caused a global warming hole, or a large cold patch reducing temperatures by up to 1 degree C in the region, particularly lowering maximum temperatures in Summer and Autumn. Since I have spent a good deal of the past several decades advocating for rapid deployment of particle reducing techniques, I guess I can be tagged as an inadvertent geoengineer. :>) Sent from my iPad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
