What's the temporary warming during WW2?

And there's also a temporary cooling during WWI.

I'd guess that WWII's worldwide firebombing campaigns vs WWI's use of large clouds of aerosolized gaseous weaponry, but that's just a guess.

Firebombing heats things up, and kills vegetation that keeps things cool. Aerosols and other particulates temporarily reflect extra sunlight back to space.

Just a hypothesis.

Anyone know why the linked post reports 36 comments but then none are visible? At least not to me.
