-
More than half of global warming is caused by climate super pollutants, like methane, black carbon, and HFCs.
-
Super pollutants are far more potent than carbon dioxide in driving the near-term atmospheric heat that’s wreaking havoc worldwide.
-
Yet carbon markets, based on a 100-year accounting model, undervalue and overlook these potent heat-trapping pollutants which have a shorter atmospheric life than CO₂.
