China's Clean Air Could Be Behind an Acceleration in Global Warming | Laura Wilcox & Bjørn H. Samset, The Conversation Global warming has picked up pace since around 2010, leading to the recent string of record warm years. Why this is happening is still unclear, and among the https://t.co/h9zsX4HWk3
Weil das Volk endlich sauberere Luft atmen sollte, wurden die Kraftwerke in China rapide entschwefelt. Das bekommt dem Klima schlecht, die Erwärmung beschleunigt sich. https://t.co/k8hjtX3qSn
Efforts to clean up air pollution in China and across East Asia may have inadvertently contributed to a spike in global warming, a new study has found. https://t.co/BqpzmT7FLh
A recent study has found that China's efforts to reduce air pollution, particularly through the rapid desulfurization of power plants, may have inadvertently accelerated global warming. The cleanup of aerosols in China and across East Asia, aimed at improving air quality, has likely contributed to the recent increase in the pace of global warming observed since around 2010. This acceleration has been linked to the decline in aerosol emissions, which previously had a cooling effect on the climate. The study highlights the complex relationship between air pollution control measures and climate change dynamics in the region.
