Because of the first of these reasons, were we to abruptly halt all emissions now, the sulfate aerosols would rapidly be removed from the atmosphere
by precipitation whereas the CO2 concentration would remain elevated, and so there would be a significant further warming influence just as a result of past emissions; this warming would lead to the quite significant global warming that Lindzen mentions.

Greater numbers of plant species in ruderal based environments were found in equatorial areas where the level of water (represented
by mean annual
precipitation) related variables are high,
whereas competitive and stress tolerant based plant environments were found in locations where energy (represented
by mean annual temperature) are expressed with greater weight acting on the distribution.
Increases in woody cover were associated with low population growth, and were driven
by increases in CO2 in the humid zones and
by increases in
precipitation in drylands,
whereas decreases in woody cover were associated with high population growth.
