The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the claim that anthropogenic carbon aerosols (such as black carbon) significantly affect the atmospheric radiation budget by absorbing and scattering incoming solar radiation. Papers 0, 1, 7, 9, and 11 all directly address and confirm this mechanism. There are no papers refuting the claim.
