Global dimming

... that sulfate pollution causes cooling through global dimming which is comparable to warming from methane, and air quality measures often accelerate climate change if they do not act on both? Source: ^[1]^[2]^[3]

Not a review, and I do my QPQs oldest first so would not get to this any time soon (but would not object to any other editor jumping in ahead of me); if I saw that hook in prep, I'd truncate it at "methane" per WP:DYKTRIM.--Laun chba ller 20:45, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
I will be taking this one; please give me a mo' ‍ PSA 🏕️ (talk) 11:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

New enough: Long enough:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: No need for a QPQ considering the amt of noms. Okay hook, but I concur with Launchballer above about truncating it. I found some issues with WP:CLOP and source-text integrity from a spotcheck of ~10% of the sources, but they aren't so egregious.

A solid GAN review tells me that great care was put into this article, but to be safe, I spotchecked ten sources (refer to this version for the ref numbers).

13, good; 25 doesn't say the studies occured in Germany and Israel; 38, no issues; 50, no mention of developed nations or wet bed combustion but will AGF the offline source cited beside it does---please confirm as well. 60 (not open access on my end? no issues otherwise though); 71, no issues; 85, no issues; 97, no issues; 108, no issues; 120 has close paraphrasing issues so please fix this.

A quick glance at the reflist suggests there are no blatantly unreliable RS, and the article was DYK-nommed at the right window of time. The prose is ok for a GA. Ran Earwig for copyvio issues but no extreme red flags. @InformationToKnowledge, please ping me once everything has been addressed. ‍ PSA 🏕️ (talk) 11:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
