Earth heats up due to pandemic’s cleaner air, study finds
Earth spiked a bit of a fever in 2020, partly because of cleaner air from the pandemic lockdown, a new study found.

More like an opioid addiction problem, take more and more to soothe the problems generated by taking it.
Is no one even reading the post lol
It results in higher temps, but as they only last so long, the cumulative effect is much much smaller than Carbon Dioxide as that sticks around for so long, basically compounding the increase again and again.

1) Need more carbon capture technology
2) Need less greenhouse gas emissions
Nothing in this article changes these two things.

This is a pretty well-known phenomenon, but the temporary increase in temperature is not nearly as bad as all that CO2 in that atmosphere.
It's just another indication of how fast we need to reduce emissions since the aerosol effect hides some of the heating.

* A conservative talking point enters the room. "Its a scientific FACT that pollution is good for the earth. Checkmate you dirty Prius driving vegan liberals."
Suddenly they will "care" about the science, errr, truth, ummm facts.... ohh ok, just this single fact, because it is the only one that aligns with their economic and political agenda.

Isn't it the other way around? The cooling caused by aerosols is temporary?
This doesn't equate to decades of climate change that drastically alter our climate. There is a natural degree of climate change, but the earth would not be doing what man-made climate change does on its own.
Literally anything approximating factual or anecdotal knowledge that implies even the slightest hint of nuance gives them ammo for their broke-brained denialism, for life. There's nothing we can do it about it, except disenfranchising the ignorant, so it's best just laughing at how predictable these fools are.

This is actually one of the criticisms of geo-engineering, where if we ever stop an intervention, the temperature will snap back rapidly and make things tremendously bad.
In the short term yes, but I meant more in the long term not putting CO2 in the air will help us cool down the earth...eventually.
This is a known impact of reducing coal consumption. The long term impact of less CO2 is WAY more important than the short term impact of fewer aerosols. It's also the reason some scientists think that aerosols are masking around ~0.2C of warming at the moment.
