The Earth became darker from 2001 to 2024, meaning it reflects less sunlight, a research team reports in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

      I assume its the opposite. It’s absorbing light as heat vs reflecting and cooling down.

        Yes, it is, I was just making a bad joke. I am actually surprised that didn’t mention that the decrease in some air pollution was also a factor. See: https://www.science.org/content/article/clearer-skies-may-be-accelerating-global-warming
