2014-11-05 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Soot from car exhaust and cookstoves, sulfates from coal-fired power plants, methane leaked during oil and gas production, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) from air conditioning are all greenhouse gases that trap heat within the Earth's atmosphere for a short while before decaying into less virulent chemicals. Cutting emissions of such "short-lived climate pollutants," or SLCPs, will not have much impact on long-term climate change, finds a new study published yesterday in the Proceedings of the...

Climate change: no quick fix for global warming 'without cutting down carbon emissions'
2014-11-05 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: Short-term fixing of the global climate will not help, says a new interdisciplinary study by showing how long-term emissions of carbon dioxide and short-lived climate pollutants like methane and sulphur dioxide are related. Soot particles, methane and fluorocarbons originating from fossil fuels, coal mines, cows and diesel engines are called short-lived climate forcers (SLCF) due to their brief lifetime of a few days to a decade. On the other hand carbon dioxide lasts thousands of years in...
