, associate professor of the department of meteorology, moscow state university, joins pavel toropovlobal warming is being postponed. however, in the short term. we will be able to notice the cooling effect. the fact is that during the eruption. a large amount of sulfur dioxide enters the atmosphere of the volcano. analysis of satellite data showed that already in the first hours the total amount of so₂ emission was approximately 200,000. t which is comparable to the number of deuce emissions siers at a large metallurgical enterprise in a year. and here the cooling of sulfur dioxide is not a greenhouse gas, on the contrary. it partially compensates for the warming effect of carbon dioxide methane and nitrogen oxides. because so₂ has the maximum absorption of solar radiation in the ultraviolet spectrum, it is not for nothing that scientists developing engineering projects have included sulfur dioxide in aerosols that are capable of accumulating solar radiation, as well as creating cloud drops. better, reflecting the energy of the sun in our case the atomization of such an aerosol occu
