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.

But

at

what

COST?????

"you can tell it's bad because it's a thing China is doing"

Yeah I saw this study in Nature a while back and every coverage of it has been a naked attempt at activating the china bad reptile brain component of Western consciousness. There is no effort made to contextualise this one specific observation within the extremely large gamut of other kinds of emissions, China's efforts as a nation to switch to renewables and, as you said, the other effects of these sulphate emissions other than the cooling aspect.

China is doing something good and it is bad, don't look that way guys! We doing way better here! What do you mean we doing something bad? Don't be silly, China and Russia are the problem, that why you see as a bad thing!! What do you mean you don't take us serious anymore?! Tiktok is a problem, so China is the problem again! We were right all along!!!

It’s bad because we can’t compete with China. If, we can do and won’t do what China is doing that’s “but at what cost?”
