Presently, the ultraviolet and white light striking Earth's upper atmosphere is encountering coal-fired power plant-derived sulfate aerosols which reflect a portion of the oncoming solar insolation back out to space, acting as a 'parasol.'
When the coal-fired plants are idled, these light-scattering particles will 'rain-out' from the sky, increasing the amount of solar energy entering the troposphere.
We'll blow right past the 1.5-degree Celsius limit the scientists hoped we could avoid.
The run-away greenhouse effect will kick in, like on Venus, steering us towards mass extinction.
As John Dutton remarked, 'Earth will shed it's skin', and mankind will cease to be.
