Climate paradox: Emission cuts could ‘unmask’ deadly face of climate change, scientists warn

Scientists have uncovered a potentially lethal paradox at the heart of efforts to slow human-caused climate change. A series of new studies suggest a stark truth. One the one hand, cutting fossil fuel pollution is necessary for avoiding severe destruction over the long term. But such cuts will make the earth much hotter in the…

@MichaelEMann i read this from another source and wonder if you are still not in full accord with the findings?

Ar6-workgroup1 has a section on #aerosols or what people call #globaldimming.
There's a chart showing world regions and their respective amount and their evolution of aerosol-induced cooling. The most cooling came from Europe, US is 2nd. Both have long ago enacted clean-air acts to fight acid rain. There's not much left in the pipeline from the other regions.
But the cooling from Europe's and North Anerica's air pollution also drove Africa's rain band south which caused droughts and famines and genocides in the 80s...That geoengineered change has been reversed by now, but it took decades - and we didn't even know until recently that we were responsible for what happened in Africa.

It's a really good chart, I think. Have a look on the IPCC website.
It's Figure 6.15 here https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/figures/chapter-6
It helps to read the section in chapter 6, too.
