Long-lived climate forcers refer to a set of well-mixed greenhouse gases with long atmospheric lifetimes. This set of compounds includes carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O), together with some fluorinated gases. They have a warming effect on climate. These compounds accumulate in the atmosphere at decadal to centennial time scales, and their effect on climate hence persists for decades to centuries after their emission. 2, record 3, English, - long%2Dlived%20climate%20forcer

Le forçage par le CO2 est le plus important contributeur au forçage anthropique au cours de l'ère industrielle. Ce forçage total provenant des activités humaines peut être comparé au forçage naturel provenant de la fluctuation des éruptions volcaniques et de l'irradiation solaire. Au cours de l'ère industrielle, des éruptions volcaniques irrégulières ont eu de brefs effets de refroidissement sur le climat mondial. La nature épisodique des éruptions volcaniques rend difficile une comparaison avec d’autres agents de forçage sur une échelle de temps d’un siècle. Toutefois, on comprend bien que le forçage volcanique soit négatif(effet de refroidissement du climat) avec le forçage le plus fort survenant sur une période limitée d’environ deux ans après les éruptions [...] 2, record 10, French, - for%C3%A7age%20radiatif%20volcanique

Sulfate aerosols are injected into the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuels and the eruption of volcanoes like Mt. Pinatubo. Recent theory suggest that sulfate aerosols may lower the earth's temperature by reflecting away solar radiation (negative radiative forcing). 3, record 11, English, - sulfate%20aerosol

De nombreuses espèces planctoniques fabriquent de grandes quantités de diméthylsulfure, ou DMS. Lorsqu’il se trouve oxydé et transformé en aérosol sulfaté, le DMS fournit la majeure partie des noyaux de condensation qui sont à l’origine des nuages au-dessus des régions océaniques éloignées des continents. 4, record 11, French, - a%C3%A9rosol%20de%20sulfate
