It's not a new topic. I remember hearing the same thing almost 20 years ago. Cleaner burning fuels use less sulfur but the sulfur was reflecting or blocking out extra sunlight or something. It's not bullshit. I'm assuming OP is trying to make an argument that we should keep polluting because of this, which would be a bunch of bullshit.

What a moron! Air pollution clean-up leads to short-term warming, unlike carbon emissions. These conservative types can't even read!
Dr Laura Wilcox, contributing author and associate professor at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) in the University of Reading, said: “The climate effects of air pollution are short-lived, while the impact of carbon dioxide emissions can be felt for centuries. This means that the acceleration of warming due to reductions in air pollution is also likely to be short-lived. We will see an acceleration of warming while the unmasking takes place, and then a return to a greenhouse-gas driven rate of warming as air pollution stabilizes.
