Science Update: Aerosol Masking Effect Previously Underestimated on Overheated Earth
https://youtu.be/3xeItd5kdt4 Washington Post, 16 June 2021: Earth is now trapping an ‘unprecedented’ amount of heat, NASA says Nature Communications, 15 June 2021: Significant underestimation of radiative forcing by aerosol–cloud interactions derived from satellite-based methods
Means of Extinction: Loss of Aerosol Masking
https://youtu.be/HBANJeCgsD0 Loss of aerosol masking caused global temperature to rise up to 0.3 C, as reported in Geophysical Research Letters. Local and regional impacts were much greater, as I have reported in this space repeatedly.
