China's air pollutant reduction success could make it tougher to control climate change
China's success in improving air quality by cutting polluting emissions may have a negative knock-on effect on climate change overall, a new study has found. The research, by scientists from Carnegie Institution for Science, U.S., Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning, China, Tsinghua University, China and the University of California Irvine, U.S., used modelling to analyse the effect China's success in reducing emissions such as sulphur dioxide, black carbon, and organic carbon, has had on global climate change. Their results are published today in Environmental Research Letters.
