Unfortunately, mean temperatures have risen much further when account is taken of the short - term masking
effect of aerosols emitted from coal and oil, mainly sulphur dioxide and its oxidized products... «Thus, according to -LSB-...]

Despite its smaller ash cloud, El Chichn
emitted more than 40 times the volume
of sulfur - rich gases produced by Mt. St. Helens, which revealed that the formation
of atmospheric sulfur
aerosols has a more substantial
effect on global temperatures than simply the volume
of ash produced during an eruption.
Moreover, the heat content
of the oceans increased more in the NH than in the SH (again, if corrected for area), while 90 %
of the
aerosols are
emitted and have their
effect in the NH.
Then, after giving a talk to the Bush - Cheney White House, he agonized about whether he should have ignored the cooling
effects of aerosols because it gave Cheney an «out,» enabling him and others to make the specious argument that
aerosols somehow balance out the trillions
of tons
of CO2
emitted every year.
As we (and a number
of other mainstream news outlets) reported, Robert Kaufmann and colleagues analysed the impact
of growing coal use, particularly in China, and the cooling
effect of the sulphate
aerosol particles
emitted into the atmosphere.

Hmmm... don't suppose it occurred to anyone to check the amount
of anthropogenic
aerosols that were
emitted during this time frame 1940 - 1970, or the fact that
aerosols have an immediate cooling
effect on troposphere temperatures that can mask the underlying warming caused by the CO2 emissions that also accompany the
aerosols.
