I know nothing but what I just googled. Apparently they've been hypothesizing and even measuring this effect since 2016 at least.

The actual significance of it I wouldn't have any idea about. I do remember when the world was covered in soot. Quite literally. Coal fired steam trains were the main cause I think. Then some time around 60 years ago diesel powered trains became the norm and the cleanup began.

I am not joking nor exaggerating but whole cities - like my own home town - turned overnight from black to white, literally. As the councils got all the large stone public buildings cleaned. I couldn't believe my eyes when I revisited afterwards.

They used to sell detachable collars for shirts you know? Do you know why? Because there was so much soot in the atmosphere that every man's shirt collar would be black with grime before the day was out.

So he'd take a spare to work and change at lunch time. Or change before the evening excursion perhaps. We're talking the masses here of course, who couldn't afford to be changing the whole shirt. And even if they could their wives didn't like it in the days before washing machines and dryers and wet spells would make it impossible to dry the washing.

But that's the climate alarmist narrative: it was according to them much colder in those days.....

Perhaps going to Tony Heller's site and asking him might get something? Some science rather than my ramblings?
