There will be less sun energy to reflect back by those particulates, and a nice clear sky is going to radiate out at night like the blazes. You are going to be shovelling snow off those solar panels before long. It's a way to stay warm I suppose.

<< Now that we have cleaned up bunker fuel for ships (vastly lower particulate emissions that reflect solar energy) >> Looks like you may be right on that one. There are implications. Climate UPDATE: The Global Surface Air Temperature (GSAT) continues to follow the increased absorption of solar energy by Earth due to a decreasing cloud albedo. The rising absorption of sunlight has been the ULTIMATE DRIVER of the 21st-Century warming including the recent… pic.twitter.com/cNcSN5k8Zj — Ned Nikolov, Ph.D. (@NikolovScience) February 16, 2025 I am just guessing, but I expect he is referring to high altitude clouds that bounce incoming radiation straight back into outer space. I checked him out a bit more. He has used other names in the past. He is not a CO2 advocate. U.S. gov’t scientist says he was banned from climate research at work — so he used a pseudonym – Retraction Watch btw I lived in London for most of the 1970's. London was famous for it's "fog" that was laden with coal dust and pollution of various sorts, including the lead from car exhausts. During that time the weather much improved from less pollution. Pressure washers became increasing available and various building started to be cleaned up on the outside. Since Victorian times I had assumed all the buildings were made blackish grey. The change was astounding. Here is the Natural History Building today. I remember it as black and grey, mainly black. Today, a lot more sunshine, and a lot more colours in the buildings! More from Ned: Yes! There is NO radiative "greenhouse effect" in reality, and CO2 has never been a driver of Earth's climate... It's a ridiculous concept from the 19th Century that's insulting to modern modern intelligence! pic.twitter.com/21g7Uc8P7B — Ned Nikolov, Ph.D. (@NikolovScience) February 16, 2025
