Granted, there are more benefits to reducing particulate and greenhouse gas
emissions than just climate
change, i.e. PM 2.5 which can be stuck in the human lung and cause cancer / respiratory issues,
SO2 which contributes to acid rain (we've already eliminated the majority of this problem), as well as soot (nobody wants the surrounding area covered in ash).

Neither is there much
change in (cooling aerosol)
SO2 emissions in the past years around the equator (China, India), compared to the previous period.

It is interesting that
changes in
SO2 emissions, particulates and CFC
emissions levels were brought down by regulations.
In the present work, a multidisciplinary approach is used to examine how contributions of H2SO4 and MSA to particle formation will
change in a large coastal urban area as anthropogenic fossil fuel
emissions of
SO2 decline.
«We use 1280 years of control simulation, with constant preindustrial forcings including constant specified CO2, and a five - member ensemble of historical simulations from 1850 — 2005 including prescribed historical greenhouse gas concentrations,
SO2 and other aerosol - precursor
emissions, land use
changes, solar irradiance
changes, tropospheric and stratospheric ozone
changes, and volcanic aerosol (ALL), following the recommended CMIP5 specifications.
Looking at all of the various inputs to global climate - including CO2 and
SO2 emissions from man, and natural cycles like La Nina / El Nino, as well as
changes in the sun - they believe that the rising sulfate
emissions is the most likely factor to have cause the global warming slowdown, between 1998 and 2008.
The overall correlation is a result of the fact that climate policy induces systemic
changes in the energy system, away from technologies with high greenhouse gas
emission levels, which also have high
emissions of air pollutants (e.g. coal use without CCS has high
emission levels of CO2, but also of
SO2).
On one hand, the reduction in global
SO2 emissions reduces the role of sulfate aerosols in determining future climate toward the end of the 21st century and therefore reduces one aspect of uncertainty about future climate
change (because the precise forcing effect of sulfate aerosols is highly uncertain).
Future assessments of possible climate
change need to account for these different spatial and temporal dynamics of GHG and
SO2 emissions, and they need to cover the whole range of radiative forcing associated with the scenarios.
Reductions in sulfur dioxide (
SO2)
emissions in recent years, for cleaner air, mainly in South East Asia due to a severe manufacturing sector slowdown and pollution policy
changes (1,2) may attribute to current warming, since the phenomena called global dimming is involved.
