Apologies .. Yea it is hypocrisy.  I did hear the particles can cause high-altitude pollution and interfere with O3 formation (reduced ozone).  They report droughts, high UV readings, and burnt vegetation in California which could all be aggravated by increased UV and heat getting through thinning ozone.  I'm watchful of information bias, but here is a case where we have main stream media sources reporting the exact opposite of what we are witnessing (if one has eyes to see it).
