If we are seeing changes to the tropopause temperatures as an indirect impact from increased
Asian aerosol emissions or solar - driven ozone changes, then this might be better thought of as impacting the efficacy of those forcings rather than implying some sensitivity change.
Increases in
Asian aerosol emissions have been suggested as one possible reason for the hiatus in global temperature increase during the past 15 years.

Has anyone modeled and published the effects of anthropogenic Chinese / Indian
aerosol emissions on monsoonal / SE
Asian climate?
«Comparing the amount of warming in the U.S. saved by reducing our greenhouse gas
emissions by some 80 % to the amount of warming added in the U.S. by increases in
Asian black carbon (soot)
aerosol emissions (at least according to Teng et al.) and there is no clear winner.
Eli: The real issue with BC forcing is that it is not global, but intensely local, depending not only on
emissions (
Asian brown cloud) but also absorptions (Greenland darkening) I guess the question for me is, are there any
aerosol forcings that are truly global?
