You seem very confident about that claim that a single factor (sulphates)
was
'largely' responsible for the trend in the Earth's climate over a period
of 35 years.
Please post the surface sunlight data from 1900-2000 that supports your
theory
that 1940-1970 was somehow different to the rest of the century.
It can't be too difficult to measure the sunlight at the earth's surface,
eh ? The data
must exist, or have you been deceived into believing something with no
scientific
evidence to support it ? Surface sunlight is a basic measurement.

"The explanation for the standstill has been attributed to aerosols in the

atmosphere produced as a by-product of greenhouse gas emission and
volcanic 
activity. They would have the effect of reflecting some of the incidental 
sunlight into space thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. Such an 
explanation was proposed to account for the global cooling observed
between 
1940 and 1978."

"But things cannot be that simple. The fact that the global temperature
has 
remained unchanged for a decade requires that the quantity of reflecting 
aerosols dumped put in our atmosphere must be increasing year on year at 
precisely the exact rate needed to offset the accumulating carbon dioxide 
that wants to drive the temperature higher. This precise balance seems 
highly unlikely."
