In equilibrium, global temperature is indeed
directly determined by the global
radiation balance.
However, the other terms in the energy
balance directly or indirectly affect the amount of absorbed solar
radiation which is available for ablation.
The atmosphere as a whole is more energetic and there are therefore more photons bouncing around — more escape
directly to space
balancing more or less the incoming
radiation.
Aerosol particles affect the Earth's radiative
balance by
directly scattering and absorbing solar
radiation and, indirectly, through their activation into cloud droplets.
