But the long - term picture suggests these cold winters might only be a temporary feature before further warming takes hold.

Energy system inertia, due to existing infrastructure such as power plants and vehicles on the road today, makes additional CO2 and still further warming inevitable.

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.

The sooner we stabilise atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, the sooner we can reduce our impact on the climate and minimise the risk of reaching tipping points that will make preventing further warming even harder.
