Divergent global-scale temperature effects from identical aerosols emitted in different regions

The climate effects of anthropogenic aerosols depend on their spatial distribution, but emission location is often ignored in evaluating their climate impact. Here the authors show drastic divergence in the simulated global temperature response to identical aerosols emitted from eight key geopolitic...
