Warming of the Arctic could be reduced by up to 0.25 degrees by 2050 by curbing short-lived pollutants
Reducing emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, such as methane and black carbon, alongside carbon dioxide could help reduce the warming of the Arctic by up to 0.25 degrees by 2050, says a new report by the Arctic Council.
The report released by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP) looks at how short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP), play a part in global warming.
