Researchers from the University of Melbourne analyzed warming rates across the globe and possible causes for regional differences.

The researchers found that the large quantity of aerosol particles in the air of highly polluted cities reflect sunlight back out into space and, at least in the short term, can have a net cooling effect on populations.

The authors of the paper emphasized that the finding should hardly be taken as a good sign.
