of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. The study was published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. Seen together, the climate impact of these two factors is bigger than that of the sector’s carbon emissions.

The climate change benefit is estimated for 2050 and human health and crop benefits are for 2030 and beyond. Black carbon and tropospheric ozone are harmful air pollutants that also contribute to climate change. Global benefits from full implementation of the identified measures in 2030 compared to the reference scenario.

The new metamodel is capable of efficiently simulating the urban concentration, surface deposition, and net export flux of these species that are important to human health and the global climate. These pollutants include anthropogenic aerosols, which have important climate and health implications. —Jason Cohen. Cohen, J.B.,

(R134a replaced CFC-12 as the MAC refrigerant in the early 1990s due to the negative impact of CFCs on the Earth’s ozone layer. With its GWP of 1, it is also the refrigerant that has the least impact on climate. CO 2 is an A1 refrigerant, indicating minimal toxicity and non-flammability. transition to a new refrigerant is not easy.
