The record-breaking heat of 2023 has seen a rare disagreement break out between climate scientists, with some saying it shows Earth may have entered a new period of warming
I listened to a podcast a couple of months ago that was about some international agreement that got rid of a bunch of pollution that was going to make this year MUCH warmer.
I’ll find it if anyone’s interested.https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/105-leon-simons
I’d definitely like to hear it. Weird that getting rid of pollution would cause warming! I’m no scientist though.
The kind of pollution targeted by the ban was sulphate aerosols from bunker fuel in shipping. Ironically, deliberately spraying sulphate aerosols into the atmosphere is often proposed as an anti-warming geoengineering strategy to mitigate climate change. I guess now we have proof it works
Yeah, we just have to poison our skies to slow down (not stop) climate change. No way that is going to bite us in the ass.
