Aerosols overtake greenhouse gases causing a warmer climate and more weather extremes toward carbon neutrality

P. Wang, Y. Yang, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Pinya Wang, Yang Yang, Daokai Xue, Lili Ren, Jianping Tang, L. Ruby Leung, and Hong Liao reveals that future reductions in aerosols could significantly accelerate climate warming and increase extreme weather events. Contrary to prior expectations, the research highlights the critical need for GHG and ozone reductions to mitigate these adverse effects on our climate, paving the way for a comprehensive understanding of carbon neutrality impacts.
