We have a decade or less to radically slow global warming before we
risk hitting irreversible tipping points that will lock in
catastrophic climate change. The good news is that we know how to
slow global warming enough to avert disaster. Cut Super Climate
Pollutants Now! explains how a 10-year sprint to cut short-lived
"super climate pollutants" -- primarily HFC refrigerants, black
carbon (soot), and methane -- can cut the rate of global warming in
half, so we can stay in the race to net zero climate emissions by
2050.
