#BAQ2026
The biggest concern emerging is on a deadly combo … #SuperPollutants + Heat

👏 An important step forwards on sectoral action on black carbon, as part of the broader #superpollutants movement. This announcement provides a high-level policy signal in favour of integrated action on climate change and #airpollution.
The #Biden admin, which wrote the #HFC #regulations to enact that law, hoped to eliminate the equivalent of 4.5 billion metric tons of #CO2 by 2050, or about 3 years’ worth of #climate #pollution from the #electricity sector.
Unlike efforts to curb #FossilFuels, plans to reduce #HFCs have won […]
Phasing out #HFCs worldwide could avert up to 0.5°C of #GlobalWarming by the end of the century, which would go a long way toward averting the worst consequences of #ClimateChange. In fact, it was #Trump, during his first term, who signed into #law a measure directing the #EPA to ratchet down […]
Zeldin said the rapid switch to other refrigerant blends had caused shortages that left families without air-conditioning in hot summer months, a claim the air-conditioning industry contests.
“With this proposal, #EPA is working to make American refrigerants affordable, safe, & reliable again,” […]
#HFCs, which are commonly referred to as #SuperPollutants, are thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide at warming the planet.
But Lee Zeldin, the #EPA administrator, said the #Biden admin’s plan for cutting the production & consumption of the #chemicals, which aimed for an 85% […]

Meet #Methane, #Tropospheric #Ozone and #Black #Carbon
We cannot limit warming to under 2°C without tackling #SuperPollutants alongside CO₂.
@jamiehailstone.bsky.social illustrates why tackling pollutants like tropospheric ozone is vital to mitigate climate harm & protect human health @forbes.com 👇

A new study shows that glaciers are melting faster, adding almost 2cm to rising sea levels from 2000-23.
Glaciers are climate indicators and there’s no indication that climate change is slowing. To turn the tide we will need to act faster on #superpollutants.

While carbon dioxide is the main focus in addressing climate change, other greenhouse gases and particulates, known as "super pollutants," also significantly impact global warming and human health.

"CO2 is responsible for around 55% of global warming to date. The other 45% comes from #SuperPollutants: #methane; black carbon; #fluorinated gases; #NitrousOxide; and tropospheric #ozone.
As well as being substantial contributors to global warming, super pollutants are a major threat to human […]
Everything that you wanted to know about non-CO2 #superpollutants: methane, N2O, F-gases, tropospheric ozone or 'other half of global warming' as a fast mitigation solution - discussed in this conversation
Solutions?
An “emergency brake” (@ValerieMHickey at #COP29) is available for both runaway #airpollution and global warming
- cut #SuperPollutants
