  1. Jesus Christ lord almighty. I consider myself fairly informed about climate change, and even thermodynamics in general as I have a few degrees in the field.

    I DID NOT KNOW about aerosol forcing causing this substantial cooling effect.

    Global warming is not “accelerating” but rather catching back up to where it would be without these aerosols.

    The public is 100% NOT informed of this fact. This is earth shatteringly bad. It is catastrophic. I don’t even know what to say guys. According to this paper, if all cooling aerosols were reduced to 0 we would be at +2.5 C

  2. Yes, it is very bad and very good news. It means we can easily cool the planet with SRM. Specifically with sulphur aerosol injection (SAI) into the stratosphere!!!

  3. Are we going to repost this same hypothesis every year from now? Do people know scientists are not idiots and have been doing research about aerosol forcing for decades? 

  4. Has it really accelerated, or have we just been undermeasuring/underestimating it?
