Earth’s growing heat imbalance driven more by clouds than air pollution, study finds

Caption

Fig. 2. Spatial distributions of decadal trends (2003–2023) in shortwave (SW) effective radiative forcing from aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI), differentiated by aerosol proxies. (A) Observationally constrained SW ACI trend for AI from 2003 to 2023. (B) Same as (A), but for SO4. The domain-averaged (60°S–60°N, ocean) SW ACI trends are shown in the lower-left corners of each panel.
