That's how
the early aerosol cans tended to fizzle out.

A study published April 7 in PNAS Online
Early Edition describes how a team of scientists, including researchers from the University of California, Davis, showed that vapor losses to the walls of laboratory chambers
can suppress the formation of secondary organic
aerosol, which in turn has contributed to the underprediction of SOA in climate and air quality models.
Dub - electro trio Major Lazer (Diplo, Walshy Fire, and Jillionaire) along with Pharrell dropped their single «
Aerosol Can»
earlier this year.
You
can, of course, argue that other factors were at work in the
early 20th century warming phase, but if you want to argue that the mid-century cooling was largely due to the neutralizing effect of industrial
aerosol pollutants, then you
can not, as did Rodgers, claim that any part of that
earlier warmup was due to the burning of fossil fuels.
If industry - generated
aerosols have a more limited cooling effect than originally thought, we
can clean up and scale down dirty coal plants without worrying too much about consequent sudden jumps in global temperatures of up to 2 degrees C (if I remember the upper limits of
earlier studies correctly).
You
can make them go down just as easily by increasing that
aerosol forcing within it's uncertainty bounds and the
earlier «ice - age» model projections did exactly that — using surface temperature as a target.
``... snow pack has decreased and been observed to melt
earlier in the calendar year... the observed changes in the hydrological components...
can be explained well by anthropogenic forcing (green house gases and
aerosols) alone.»
Whereas all of the IPCC AR4 models agree that the warming observed since 1970
can only be reproduced using anthropogenic forcings, models disagree on the relative importance of solar, volcanic, and
aerosol forcing in the
earlier part of the 20th century (IPCC AR4 WGI Section 9.4.1).
