Sentences with phrase «more black carbon pollution»

Carbon soot gets blame for Arctic Ice Melt: Oil industry and household stoves speed Arctic thaw Gas flaring by the oil industry and smoke from residential burning contributes more black carbon pollution to Arctic than previously thought — potentially speeding the melting of Arctic sea ice and contributing to the fast rate of warming in...

Study finds some improved cookstoves may emit more black carbon pollution than traditional mud cookstoves
