Moreover, while GHGs dipped a bit, emissions are still higher than uptake, so concentrations, forcing, and temperatures continue to increase. (and of course year to year temperature changes are very noisy)

When economies are roaring along, aerosols, led by soot and sulfate ions, tend to brighten clouds. That helps them reflect the sun's heat back into space. So with the absence of aerosols more sunlight fell on Earth. That made the planet slightly warmer, especially near industrial countries like the U.S. and Russia." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
