The dominant factors are changes in CO2 (a cooling), ozone depletion (a cooling), warming from big volcanoes, and oscillations related to the solar cycle. That means the greenhouse substances are basically just CO2 and ozone, and they absorb in quite different parts of the spectrum. Thompson et al. of these products (Zou et al.,

Since this is a somewhat differently designed ensemble, I’ll plot that similarly (45 simulations), and note too that these are global means, again, for the corrected-TMT product (for the historical and SSP2-45 scenarios after 2014).

One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. To make matters worse, NOx contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone and secondary PM2.5, Ground-level ozone is the sixth criteria air pollutant, but is created from precursors. Secondary PM2.5

Their collective trauma dates back to August 2, 2014, when she and half a million other Toledoans woke to alarming news: the water coming out of their taps was toxic. After the 2014 Toledo water crisis, the binational International Joint Commission tried to put a price tag on the event. Carl Ganter, Circle of Blue. September 20, 2022

In addition, ozone depletion higher up in the stratosphere has caused a cooling high up in the atmosphere. The annual precipitation amount may increase from the 1995-2014 levels with up to 13% by 2081-2100 averaged over global land areas. More rain is falling on Earth than before with a faster increase in the amount since the 1980s.

After the EPA proposed the Clean Power Plan in 2014, for example, fossil fuel interests and their backers tried to argue that the proposal’s 2030 emission-reduction targets were completely unrealistic, and that the country would see astronomically high costs and blackouts due to the rule.
