What the researchers found out was that while some aerosols like sulphur compounds have the cooling effect on the climate, others like soot, for example, are actually absorbing the heat and warming the air. The net effect can be even zero! I had a chance of reading the forthcoming "State of the World 2009" which will be available in January and it's a great source of information about climate change. There is a whole chapter about reducing black carbon included.
