Burning coal, oil, and gas has not only been causing global warming but also global cooling due to the reflective nature of tiny particles from fossil fuel combustion that shade the Earth from the sun's rays. However, as efforts to reduce pollution increase, this cooling effect is diminishing, leading to potentially greater warming. The decrease in sulfur aerosols from burning fossil fuels is expected to impact global temperatures, with estimates ranging from 0.05 to 0.2 degrees Celsius of warming. The balance between cleaning up pollution and curbing fossil fuel use is crucial in preventing faster global warming.
