Black carbon—soot—is a global-warming agent the immediate control of which will slow the demise of Arctic sea ice faster than will control of any other global-warming agent, Jacobson said. Immediate GHG control is still absolutely necessary to stem short and long-term climate damage. However, both BC and GHG controls are needed.
