Global dimming‚ a gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth’s surface‚ has partially counteracted global warming from 1960 to the present.[55] The main cause of this dimming is aerosols produced by volcanoes and pollutants. These aerosols exert a cooling effect by increasing the reflection of incoming sunlight. The effects of the products of fossil fuel combustion—CO2 and aerosols—have largely offset one another in recent decades‚ so that net warming has been due to
