https://fox8.com/news/earth-heats-up-due-to-pandemics-cleaner-air-study-finds/

>Earth spiked a bit of a fever in 2020, partly because of cleaner air from the pandemic lockdown, a new study found.

For a short time, temperatures in some places in the eastern United States, Russia and China were as much as half to two-thirds of a degree (.3 to .37 degrees Celsius) warmer. That’s due to less soot and sulfate particles from car exhaust and burning coal, which normally cool the atmosphere temporarily by reflecting the sun’s heat, Tuesday’s study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters reported (https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2020GL091805).).

Overall, the planet was about .05 degrees (.03 degrees Celsius) warmer for the year because the air had fewer cooling aerosols, which, unlike carbon dioxide, is pollution you can see, the study found.

>“Cleaning up the air can actually warm the planet because that (soot and sulfate) pollution results in cooling” which climate scientists have long known, said study lead author Andrew Gettelman, an atmospheric scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. His calculations come from comparing 2020 weather to computer models that simulated a 2020 without the pollution reductions from pandemic lockdowns.

This temporary warming effect from fewer particles was stronger in 2020 than the effect of reduced heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions, Gettelman said. That’s because carbon stays in the atmosphere for more than a century with long-term effects, while aerosols remain in the air about a week.

Assuming I understand this correctly
>Greenhouse gases come in different types
>Each type has an albedo effect at a different part of the spectrum
>Infrared albedo bad
>Visible range albedo good
>Each type also has a different lifespan, so trying to get good albedo but minimal bad albedo is difficult
Is that what they are saying

So all we need to do is build an enormous can of hairspray each year and global warming is solved.

Wait, but if the temperature increased, wouldn't that mean that most emissions actually cool the planet? Since the albedo effect is greater than the heat trapping effect. What kind of petroleum emission doesn't release particulate? Do they eventually settle down while carbon dioxide doesn't unless absorbed by geological/biological processes? Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense to have a net heating when it should be a net cooling.

From https://geoengineering.global/stratospheric-aerosol-injection/

>The stratosphere (see NOAA image below) is a layer of the Earth’s atmosphere that ranges between 7 to 31 miles above the ground between the Troposphere and the Mesophere. The stratosphere is an ideal target for atmospheric geoengineering because it relatively isolated from human populations,

and

> It is considered relatively safe for the environment because volcanoes have been injecting sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere for eons and the biosphere naturally processes sulfates using multiple pathways in the sulfur biogeochemical cycle.

>>12673024
The cost of mitigating warming is far less than de-industrialization and the inevible zero or even negative economic growth that would result in de-industrialization, which has been proposed by environmental extremist groups like the Sierra Club and the Club of Rome.

The models were constructed to model long-term effects, not accounting for sudden and large scale alterations to human industry.
Over a short-term it is well known the sulfates dominate and have a brief cooling effect as they have a short lifespan in the atmosphere. Over a long term, carbon dominates and has a net heating effect.
