East Asian aerosol cleanup has likely contributed to the recent acceleration in global warming by Bjørn H. Samset, Laura J. Wilcox, Robert J. Allen, Camilla W. Stjern, Marianne T. Lund, Sharar Ahmadi, Annica Ekman, Maxwell T. Elling, Luke Fraser-Leach, Paul Griffiths, James Keeble, Tsuyoshi Koshiro, Paul Kushner, Anna Lewinschal, Risto Makkonen, Joonas Merikanto, Pierre Nabat, Larissa Narazenko, Declan O’Donnell, Naga Oshima, Steven T. Rumbold, Toshihiko Takemura, Kostas Tsigaridis, Daniel M. Westervelt

“…Here we show, using a large set of simulations from eight Earth System Models, how a time-evolving 75% reduction in East Asian sulfate emissions partially unmasks greenhouse gas-driven warming and influences the spatial pattern of surface temperature change. We find a rapidly evolving global, annual mean warming of 0.07 ± 0.05 °C, sufficient to be a main driver of the uptick in global warming rate since 2010. …”
