While the article has some nuance, the title is completely inappropriate. A better title would've been: Dramatic cuts in China’s air pollution unmask surge in global warming.

When I look at the title I wholeheartedly agree with you. The implications of "driving" global warming are ridiculous and contradicted in the article itself when they quote Samset saying that China hasn't "caused" additional warming. Leaving it up to the reader to parse the difference between driving and causing with no input from the author is poor reporting.
