"By shielding some of the incoming solar energy, sulphate aerosols mask the underlying warming effect generated by rising levels of CO2"

-- So temperatures go down but, in effect, go up? Temperature was being masked for 40 years? And how do they explain the rise in temperature before the 1940s when there was no great out put of C02?

"Once that CO2 has been released into the atmosphere its heat-trapping properties as a greenhouse gas lead to even stronger warming: an example of positive feedback."

-- How can they prove this when, according to the movie, the weather balloons and satellites have indicated that there is no rise in greenhouse gas warming in the atmosphere? They don't address this major point.

I still believe that the correlation between sun spots and weather, as shown in the movie by the near perfect fit of the two graphs mapped out over a long period of time, explains a lot. It's a better fit that C02 and weather, which this article doesn't address.

It is BS, back then China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, etc weren't as industrialized as they are today, so there are actually more "sulphate aerosols" being released today in the world then there was back then when it was basically just us, yet the Earth isn't cooling.
