Abstract

The United States diurnal temperature range trend over the past 63 years exhibits characteristics that appear related to the time course of global industrial productivity. This observation implicates SO₂-modulated energy balance perturbations rather than the CO₂ greenhouse effect as the agent responsible for the decreasing diurnal temperature range of the past three decades.
