    I read somewhere that after 9/11 there was a small, but noticeable increase to air temps over the US when they shutdown air traffic and the particulate clouds stopped forming & reflecting sunlight.

      While that's a possibility, I'm really skeptical this is a proven fact. Weather is too chaotic of a system for a small variation in temperature to be specifically attributed to something like that, even averaged across a continent and a 2 week period.
