Western government authorities deemed it an act of sabotage likely arranged by Russia, and called it a new and growing risk for undersea infrastructure. But if they succeed, it will mark a bold feat of engineering to boost clean energy and fight climate. In November, Baku hosted the 29th annual United Nations ClimateChange Conference.
Soot emissions are second only to carbon dioxide in promoting global warming, but its effects have been underestimated in previous climate models. Consequently, soot’s effect on climatechange has not been adequately addressed in national and international global warming legislation.
