In the opposite transition to rapid warming in 1975, once again I am struck by the fact that
while aerosol emissions ceased to rise, they did not disappear entirely from the atmosphere, but began a gradual decline from a high peak.
«
While aerosol emissions have fallen in Europe and the US (and in the former Soviet Union after 1991), they are now rising rapidly in China and India.

«Does anyone know whether you can scrub soot from, say, coal
emissions while leaving
aerosols alone?»
While developed countries and regions have long been culprits for Earth's rising greenhouse gas
emissions, Cornell researchers — balancing the role of
aerosols along with carbons in the equation — now predict a time when developing countries will contribute more to climate change than advanced societies: 2030.
While SO2 emissions may have had some small role in that period, they can't have a role in the current standstill, as the increase of emissions in SE Asia is compensated by the decrease in emissions in the Western world, thus there is hardly any increase in cooling aerosols while CO2 levels are going up at record speed and temperatures are sta

while CO2 levels are going up at record speed and temperatures are stalled.
Note that
while the BEST approach is based on correlations, they are correlations of variables with known causal relationships (i.e. an increased greenhouse effect is known to cause global warming), although they do not appear to have considered some important influences like human
aerosol emissions or the El Niño Southern Oscillation.
The sections below give a systematic overview of the major natural
aerosol sources and their relations to climate parameters
while anthropogenic
aerosol emissions and combined
aerosols are the subject of Chapter 2.
