Two different ways direct radiative forcing the scattering of solar
radiation and the absorption/emission of terrestrial radiation.
Indirect radiative forcing, mainly by effects of aerosols
on cloud properties. Greenhouse gases effect on the global radiative balance and surface temperatures. The effect of aerosols on clouds is highly speculative. If more aerosol, the smaller the cloud droplets tend to be, and clouds
with more but smaller drops have a higher albedo.
