Recent studies including an assessment by the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization indicate that it's possible to slow the pace of warming and melting in the Arctic in the near term by reducing emissions of two common climate pollutants: black carbon and methane, both of which are emitted from the extraction and burning of fossil fuels.
