>In the “Pipeline” paper, Hansen gives a higher estimate still: that aerosols are cooling the planet by perhaps 1.5 degrees Celsius. And because the world is moving away from air pollution much faster than it is moving away from carbon emissions, he suggests that the bill for that Faustian bargain is about to come due and that as a result, the rate of warming will grow by 50 to 100 percent over the next few decades.
