Jacobson went on to describe two of his recent studies. The second study found that local CO 2 emissions produce CO 2 domes over cities, which increase local ozone and PM, increasing local mortality. The study found that CO 2 domes increase air pollution deaths by 50-100 per year in California, with most occurring in Los Angeles.
