Controlling Soot Might Quickly Reverse a Century of Global Warming | Wired Science | Wired.com

Controlling Soot Might Quickly Reverse a Century of Global Warming | Wired Science | Wired.com:

"A massive simulation of soot’s climate effects finds that basic pollution controls could put a brake on global warming, erasing in a decade most of the last century’s temperature change.

Compared to the larger, longer term task of getting greenhouse-gas pollution under control, limiting soot wouldn’t be hard. Unlike new energy technology and profound changes in lifestyle, the tools — exhaust filters, clean-burning stoves — already exist."
