Much less sunlight is reflected back to space by air pollution, clouds (from a reduction in aerosol cloud interactions and cloud feedbacks from warming), and by decreasing snow and ice cover. The 4-year average Absorbed Solar Radiation level increased by almost 2 W/m²!

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.
