Anthropogenic emissions of sulfur dioxide from industrial activity are now known to be large enough to produce significant increases in sulfate aerosol abundances. The resulting increased particles in the atmosphere affect the climate change through the direct and indirect effects. Related research results show that cooling effects of sulfate aerosol compensate the greenhouse effect to certain extent due to increases in anthropogenic trace gases, which would lead to slower warming in Northern Hemisphere and lower diurnal temperature range.
