However, while greenhouse gases cause warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, some aerosols can have a cooling effect on the climate because the aerosol particles cause more of the sun’s light to be reflected away from the planet. In many cases, the strongest climate effects of aerosols are felt far from where the aerosols are emitted.
