The cooling clouds only offset the extra heat generated by the greenhouse effect. So it's not cooling, it's just heating up slower than we thought, which obviously doesn't undo any damages caused. What a joke of a deliberately misworded article.

It literally says it offsets the heat? I read the title exactly as you restated it.

People misuse “offset” a lot. Companies offering “carbon offsets” are pretty much all lying to you. It’s just there to make you feel better.
