The gist of the article is that China has reduced its usage of aerosolized sulfur dioxide over the last few decades. Sulfur dioxide is a dangerous chemical that causes acid rain and potentially respiratory illnesses. But apparently this is bad.

According to “The Hill” this will actually increase the speed of global warming because that harmful sulfur dioxide also offers a layer of protection against the suns rays that are now going to be absorbed in slightly higher amounts by the atmospheric CO2 to which the article concludes “we also must reduce CO2 emissions”

China has set a goal to be carbon neutral by 2060 while the current U.S. president seems to be doing everything possible to crush environmental regulation altogether.

This is what passes for journalism here in the USA.
