论文摘要
气溶胶掩蔽效应或全球变暗是我们正在进行的气候困境的一个有据可查的实例：通过遏制工业活动或过渡到清洁源，例如太阳能或核能，例如不可避免地，无意间加速行星变暖，以减轻温室气体的产生。这种不希望的结果是由工业活动导致的气溶胶产生的。本文描述了一些注定要失败的气候缓解策略，因为它们不考虑气溶胶掩盖效果。此外，许多政治和道德举措都像往常一样强调业务，从而使难题恶化。相反，我们建议一系列道德和政策计划，以应对气溶胶掩盖的挑战，并描述了面对这些重大且经常被忽视的挑战，如何改善当代的困境。
The aerosol masking effect, or global dimming, is a well-documented instance of our ongoing climate predicament: Efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas production by curbing industrial activity or transitioning to clean sources such as solar or nuclear inevitably and inadvertently accelerate planetary warming. This undesired outcome results from aerosols that result from industrial activity. This article describes some climate mitigation strategies destined to fail because they do not account for the aerosol masking effect. Moreover, many political and ethical initiatives emphasize the business as usual framework, thus worsening the conundrum. We suggest instead a set of ethical and policy initiatives to address the challenge of aerosol masking, and we describe how our contemporary predicament can be ameliorated in the face of these significant and often-overlooked challenges.
