The rise of CO2 from 270ppm to now over 400ppm, the extent of equatorial and sub tropical deforestation, the soot deposits on the polar ice caps, the increase in atmospheric water vapour due to a corresponding increase in ocean temps and changes in ocean currents, the extreme ice albedo currently happening in the arctic etc, etc are all conspiring in tandem to alter the climate as we know it.

Reductions in some short - lived human - induced emissions that contribute to warming, such as black carbon (soot) and methane, could reduce some of the projected warming over the next couple of decades, because, unlike carbon dioxide, these gases and particles have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes.The amount of warming projected beyond the next few decades is directly linked to the cumulative global emissions of heat - trapping gases and particles.

We always thought that — apart of course from soot [15 % of climate warming]-- such aerosol pollution creates cooling — as in the case of Chinese sulfur pollution and the Asian (Indian) brown cloud — and that air quality measures over recent decades in North America and Europe are now actually a major cause of increased warming speeds there — as the actual temperature catches up on the «CO2 baseline».

land use, soot etc.) over a 60 - YEAR period, which spans most of the obvious natural variability cycles (which while they may not cancel, seem to be quasi-oscillatory).
