Cleaner Air in China Is Surprisingly Speeding Up Global Warming

As China slashed air pollution—cutting sulfur dioxide by ~75% since 2010—this public health win had an unintended climate consequence: accelerated global warming.

🌡️ **Key Insights in This Video:**
• Aerosols cool Earth by reflecting sunlight. Reducing them “unmasks” greenhouse warming. Recent cuts added ~0.05 °C per decade to global temperature, with local boosts over East Asia and remote effects across the Northern Hemisphere .
• “Warm blobs” in the North Pacific and extreme events like California’s drought are tied to cleaner skies in China .
• The warming effect is short-term but real—climate models show it fades once aerosol cuts stabilize .
• Health vs. climate trade-off: cleaner air saves lives, but the climate implications mean we must reduce both aerosols and greenhouse gases simultaneously .

🌐 If you care about climate strategies or the future of global warming, press play and let’s unravel this paradox together.
