About This Item
New York: AAAS, 2009. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL PAPER WRAPS of Almut Arneth et al reaching a preliminary conclusion that pollution control will accelerate, not mitigate, warming.
ABSTRACT: ""The push toward cleaner air in Beijing before the 2008 Olympic Games was a vivid reminder of the need to control air pollution, not only in Asia but in many regions of the world (1). There is mounting evidence for particle- and ozone-related health effects (2, 3). Furthermore, ozone and aerosol particles affect Earth's radiation balance (4, 5): Many aerosols cool the atmosphere (a negative forcing), whereas ozone and black carbon aerosol have a warming effect (a positive forcing). There is thus a strong motivation for treating air pollution control and climate change in common policy frameworks (5, 6). However, recent model studies (7-9) have shown that changes in pollutant and precursor emissions, atmospheric burden, and radiative forcing are not necessarily proportional. Furthermore, as Shindell et al. report on page 716 of this issue, current models do not capture many of the complex atmospheric processes involving aerosols and reactive trace gases.". CONDITION & DETAILS: Washington DC: The American Association for the Advancement of Science. 8vo. Original pictorial wrappers. The issue bears two stickers on the front wrap, one a library sticker and the second a mailing label (see photo).The wraps are otherwise bright and very clean. The inside is pristine.
