a BBC "documentary" about how pollution changes clouds to reflect 10% more light and how it counters global warming. so cleaning the air may cause more global warming. the advice given was: clean both the air and greenhouse gasses.

 

personally i don't belive in thes documentary.

Ok...why don't you believe in this documentary though ?

 

Aerosols reflect solar radiation, compounds absorb, if you rapidly reduce aerosols, then more radiation will enter the atmosphere with greater absorption, and cause a rapid temperature rise, hence tackle both problems. Note, we havn't created a steady state.

 

EDIT: That documentary is rather old, and I'm just recollecting from memory, but the principle above still holds.

nobody can predict the weather. and even physics can't predict what will happen.
