Alan,
The soot layer is more likely to be on the ground, combined with large
areas of misc. constructions and clearance of land mass. This would give a
larger emission factor of the ground and a warming of the lower atmosphere.
Maybe the global waring have a contribution from this also. The

It'd take more than readjusting the aircraft fuel controls. You'd have
to replace the fuel injectors with less efficient designs. But if you
do that you have to worry about turbine inlet

OK, I'll disclaim myself here as having a vested interest, because I'm a

It will only cost 1-2% in additional fuel, and the particles wil be very
small, practically invisible. The result, however, will be reflected sunlight
and increased emission of IR radiation, thus cooling the earth,
