Leon Simons presents his most recent analysis of atmospheric aerosols, how they affect the Earth’s albedo (surface reflectivity), and their impact on global warming. He discusses the global dimming effect caused by atmospheric aerosols and the risk of a dramatic jump in global warming due to termination shock, a situation where atmospheric aerosol levels drop quickly because of sudden reductions in fossil fuel use and sulfur content.
