Black carbon, for example, has a global warming potential 3200 times that of CO 2 on a 20-year time scale. Black carbon darkens the surface of snow and ice, which accelerates heat absorption and melting, and is thought be the second greatest contributor to global climate change, after CO 2. and other pollutants.
