When the wind slows down, the concentration of small particles of air pollution (aerosols) increase, which help increase haze and leads to solar dimming in the area.

Indeed, conventional wisdom held that higher levels of aerosol pollution in the atmosphere should cool the earth's climate because aerosols can increase cloudiness; they not only reduce precipitation, which raises the water content in clouds, but they also increase the size of the individual water droplets, which in turn causes more warming sunlight to be reflected back into space.

The study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, showed that the production of tar sands and other heavy oil — thick, highly viscous crude oil that is difficult to produce — are a major source of aerosols, a component of fine particle air pollution, which can affect regional weather patterns and increase the risk of lung and heart disease.

But there are offsets between GHGs / aerosol combinations and solar activity (especially as derived by Hoyt and Schatten), which may have been underestimated (see Stott e.a. 2003) If one simply should compare only the influence of solar (by H&S or even LBB) with the increase in heat content of the oceans, one can get a similar conclusion: that solar is the main driving force in ocean heat content.

In terms of the aerosols: If you want to argue really simplistic, you could still explain what is seen in Dave's NH - SH time series: due to the larger thermal inertia of the SH, you would expect slower warming there with greenhouse gas forcing, so an increase in NH - SH early on, which would then be reduced as aerosol forcing becomes stronger in the NH.

Note also, having aerosols a cooling means that your relationship between CO2 and temperature in the ice - cores is blown away; dust levels increase by three orders of magnitude going from warming to cooling, and dust changes occur before temperature changes, which occur before CO2 changes.

McCusker et al. (2012) performed an experiment in which global - mean surface temperature was held constant by increasing CO2 while simultaneously increasing sulfate aerosol... to compensate.

However, I am not a «warmista» by any means — we do not know how to properly quantify the albedo of aerosols, including clouds, with their consequent negative feedback effects in any of the climate sensitivity models as yet — and all models in the ensemble used by the «warmistas» are indicating the sensitivities (to atmospheric CO2 increase) are too high, by factors ranging from 2 to 4: which could indicate that climate sensitivity to a doubling of current CO2 concentrations will be of the order of 1 degree C or less outside the equatorial regions (none or very little in the equatorial regions)- i.e. an outcome which will likely be beneficial to all of us.

This study of course does not take away very different concerns related to stratospheric aerosol SRM geoengineering, like possible damage to the ozone layer [which in turn would be good news if you hate waiting for that spring tan] and the fact that allowing CO2 concentrations to keep rising presents other problems, like the necessity to never stop with the active process of SRM geoengineering, and increasing ecological damage caused by ocean acidification.

One would think that, if this hypothesis were true, and if the rate of increase of aerosols is greater than the rate of increase in CO2 (which appears to be the case), and if aerosols do tend to cool, that there would have been net cooling over the 20 year period instead of a net plateau in temp increases.

The new study, published in Nature Geoscience, identified a negative feedback loop in which higher temperatures lead to an increase in concentrations of natural aerosols that have a cooling [continue reading...]

a) decreases («dimming») until the 1980s, because atmospheric pollutants (aerosols) make the atmosphere more reflective and also clouds, by increasing the number of water droplets in the clouds, which in turn increases the amount of sunlight reflected, and subsequent

US scientists propose that artificially introducing aerosols to the atmosphere will brighten clouds and increase reflectivity which could help defend the Earth from global warming.

The situation we have here is that the cooling effect of man - made aerosols has declined appreciably [since 1951] as CO2 emissions and other GHGs have increased, so we would expect even greater warming, which hasn't happened.

Generally, the trend has been attributed to an increase in sulfur pollution, which rapidly forms tiny particles in the air known as «aerosols» that reflect incoming solar energy back into space.

We saw increasing BC emissions also in the first half of the last century, which acted to counterbalance the cooling of the similarly increasing sulfate aerosols to some extent.

As for your alternative explanation in a previous post, I am trying to think of a world subject to a warming force due to increased GHGs since the 19th century... this warming didn't materialize around the mid-century due to large quantities of aerosols emitted in the NH... somehow this NH cooling trespassed the equatorial belt and affected the SH, which not only didn't warm but cooled even more than the NH... doesn't sound very plausible, does it?

If you have to take the whole 20th century (30 % CO2 increase), my attribution is 0.7 degrees of which 0.9 is CO2, 0.2 is the sun, and -0.4 is aerosols, as I have posted before.

You get that by correcting Sagan's incorrect aerosol optical physics which the warmists use to claim increased cloud albedo is hiding CO2 - AGW.

Third: There was no cooling in the 1920s; in fact that was the start of a multidecadal warming trend that lasted until just after World War II (followed by a brief cooling trend, possibly due to increased aerosols dimming incoming sunlight together with some pretty big volcanic eruptions which did the same thing).

Brenty - The increased level of atmospheric sulfate aerosols from tropical volcanoes over the last decade, blocked sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, which has contributed to a very slight reduction in warming.

We argue that this is the long - term anthropogenic trend, forced by greenhouse gas increases offset by tropospheric aerosol cooling, which also increased along with industrialization.

This seems reasonable to me, and I'd suspect that for example many aerosol uncertainties may actually increase in the AR5, but it also seems like a testable hypothesis which can be applied to state of the art models hind casting observed and paleo - climate.

Forster et al. (2007) described four mechanisms by which volcanic forcing influences climate: RF due to aerosol — radiation interaction; differential (vertical or horizontal) heating, producing gradients and changes in circulation; interactions with other modes of circulation, such as El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO); and ozone depletion with its effects on stratospheric heating, which depends on anthropogenic chlorine (stratospheric ozone would increase with a volcanic eruption under low - chlorine conditions).

For example, an increase in forest area can lead to more tree - borne aerosols which in turn leads to more clouds.
