Why this is happening is still unclear and is among the biggest questions in climate science today. Our new study reveals that reductions in air pollution – particularly in China and East Asia – are a key reason for this faster warming. Clean-up of sulphur emissions from global shipping has been implicated in past research. But that clean-up only began in 2020, so it is considered too weak to... https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/opinion/article/3318806/asias-cleaner-air-driving-global-warming?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/opinion/article/3318806/asias-cleaner-air-driving-global-warming?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 19 Jul 2025 02:30:08 +0000
