What's the temporary warming during WW2?

[–] anindefinitearticle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

And there's also a temporary cooling during WWI.

I'd guess that WWII's worldwide firebombing campaigns vs WWI's use of large clouds of aerosolized gaseous weaponry, but that's just a guess.

Firebombing heats things up, and kills vegetation that keeps things cool. Aerosols and other particulates temporarily reflect extra sunlight back to space.

Just a hypothesis.
