Global Dimming Paradox: Are we facing an abrupt temperature spike?

Global Warming is taking a rare back seat in the news right now, as we deal with the more immediate existential crisis afflicting our civilisation and way of life. But as entire countries are getting shut down around the world, with the rapid reduction of emissions that this causes, is the global dimming paradox about to be tested? Will we see an abrupt spike in temperatures that tips our earth systems into an irreversible cascade of warming feedbacks?


Addendum : Drew Shindell is in fact a professor at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, NOT Durham North East England. Apologies for this error.
