Funny how they can take a legit finding but then editorialize it to bash China for doing a good thing. Yeah, cutting SO₂ does let more warmth through and will cause a 0.05 Celsius/decade growth but it's literally just showing the warming we are already creating and is tiny compared to the 0.2 Celsius/decade growth we're getting from CO₂ and methane. They also don't mention the fact that the USA and Europe also cut their sulfate emissions decades ago and contributed to this same type of "unmasking" effect.
