The following article http://www.universetoday.com/2009/04/09/aerosols-could-be-responsible-for-artic-warming/ explains i.e., that to achieve a quick reduction of arctic temperatures, it might be better to reduce aerosol output first since they are much shorter lived than CO2 but have a similarly strong effect on temperatures as CO2."
