As a result of their findings, published in the 30 October issue of the journal Science , the authors argue that assessments of multigas mitigation policies, as well as any separate efforts to mitigate warming from short-lived pollutants, should include gas-aerosol interactions.

About a third of the airborne lead particles collected at two sites in the San Francisco Bay Area came from Asia, a finding that underscores the far-flung impacts of air pollution and heralds a new way to learn more about its journey across vast distances. The isotopic composition of lead varies over large regions of the Earth’s crust.

We have to discover and produce cleaner, renewable sources of energy with less of the carbon pollution that threatens our climate. Obama was delivering a speech on energy policy at Georgetown University. We have to find ways to boost our efficiency so that we use less oil. And we have to do it quickly. —President Obama.

Right now the dock workers and the people who live near the ports are choking on the worst air pollution anywhere in the area. We can dump both Killer Coal and Big Oil by generating our electricity with solar panels and charging your electric car with the all clean, all green energy from the sun.

Shifting from nuclear to other types of power plants could affect the reliability of the electricity supply, electricity costs, air pollution, carbon emissions, and the reliance on fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, the researchers said. The calculated cost of generation with the new mix of plants was a lower bound.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. The mines in Canada where the nickel & cadmium are mined is one of the most polluted places on Earth. We should have built more Nuclear power plants and created a nuclear waste recycling program.
