I was reading through that, waiting for them to mention marine fuel (which they do). Cleaner fuel is causing less cloud cover, so we've been accidentally geoengineering a cooler climate for a while - until we "fixed" it in 2020.
I read/watched something a few years back arguing that we should shoot sea water into the air from cargo ships to restore this beneficial effect.
I mean, it could be... refreshing
Better start doing it again, only even more this time. Maybe it will even allow us to meet the Paris climate goals, and with the added benefit of not having to reduce our fossil fuel use at all! We can have our cake and eat it too! /s
