Small sulfate aerosol may have masked effects of climate change in 1970s
Small sulfate particles of diameters 0.4 µm or less from anthropogenic sources could have had a cooling effect on the climate in the 1970s, by triggering cloud formation and reflection radiation.

Global warming and climate change are one of the most pressing issues of this century. It is well known that carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas, but what is less known is that a few anthropogenic aerosols retard the effects of greenhouse gases. One such chemical is sulfate, which is more infamous for its role in acid rain.
