That’s been going on for a while. Reduction in sulfur based and particulate pollution does increase temperatures because those types of pollution tend to reflect sunlight back to space.

Of course they also cause acid rain and lung problems.

Mostly what I wanted to see was the interplay between atmospheric temperature and ocean heat content. They’ll both continue to increase but I think the increasing stair step pattern of atmospheric warming is being driven by the ocean storing the heat for a few years and then releasing some back to the atmosphere based on the ENSO pattern.
That, and the heat capacity of the ocean getting toed upon.... Eventually that extra heat just goes straight to the air instead.

I see a lot of posters advancing humorous remarks, and the are actually quite witty.

But they make me feel nauseous and depressed, when I usually enjoy wit, irony and humor.

It happens, different reactions to trauma and anxiety.

Show me a better way to effect change and I'll abandon the pithy comments.
