In the 70s, they banned Sulfides. The sulfides (This is complicated) were the opposite of a Greenhouse Gas: They reflect light before they hit the ground, and then re-emit the Infrared that Greenhouse Gasses (Methane, C02, and Water Vapor*) absorb. You know that Thermal Imaging we developed, around the 80s? Yeah, they put those in Satellites now. We've been measuring it since then. We couldn't detect it because the Sulfides kept it down to an insignificant level. (They also cause Smog, Acid Rain, sometimes rotten egg smells on the wind, but also certain types of fairly attractive cave formations.)
*Water Vapor is a greenhouse gas, but another allotrope is right around tied with fresh fallen snow for diffusing the problem. Unfortunately, we can't control Cloud formations, but there's easier ways to fix it. Methane comes first, mostly because it's not stable, and naturally breaks down into the other 2 of the top 3 Greenhouse gasses. Also, there's CO2, and Methane sequestored in the glaciers, rising oceans also soak up all kinds of photons... It's not so much a runaway effect as several, and those are just some of the ones we know about.
