MICK said:While subject to much more instrumental uncertainty, Fig. 4 also suggests that the
underlying increase in the “background” aerosols from the
very low values indicated by observations around 1960 to the
higher levels observed around 2000 probably reduced the
global warming that would otherwise have occurred between
1960 and 2000 by about –0.05°C.
So you are suggesting that there's been a secret program of increasing fuel sulphur content for the last 50+ years?
Not necessarily . . . However, there could have been an informed studied decision to not do anything to limit anthropomorphic injection of sulfur compounds high into the atmosphere. . . And to help along the process as well. . . .
