A study by a team of researchers from China, the US and Germany suggests that future climate change may worsen air quality for more than 85% of China’s population, leading to an additional 20,000 deaths each year. Managing air quality in China in a changing climate will thus become more challenging. —Hong et al.

This is important for policymakers when forecasting and influencing future emissions paths in the context of climate change. The reasons were two-fold: (i) increased air pollution led to households staying indoors more to mitigate the pollution impact; and (ii) PM 2.5 pollution ranges between 20 and 200 ?g/m³.

Shown are the tipping elements [large-scale components of the Earth’s system] and the temperature threshold range that initiates the tipping. The Montreal Protocol has already delayed climate change by seven to 12 years, and put the ozone layer on the path to recovery later this century. With indoor air pollution killing 1.6

The proposed project raises a range of concerns about the impact on local communities, water supplies, and cultural heritage sites. The critical factor in my determination was this: moving forward with this project would significantly undermine our ability to continue leading the world in combatting climate change.
