The great paradox: Drop in air pollution has INCREASED global warming because clean air does not contain aerosol particles that reflect sunlight and cool the Earth. OK, we’re swinging back to 1970s global cooling folks. We’re waiting for Al Gore to move to Brazil so he doesn’t freeze.
- Current pollution rates are 30 percent lower than in 2000
- However, this has led to an increase in warming from carbon emissions
- Scientists found there is less haze in the atmosphere to block the sun’s radition
- They suggest using solar engineering to launch aerosol particles into the atmosphere in a bid to combat climate change
