Cutting the amount of short-lived, climate-warming emissions such as soot and methane won’t limit global warming as much as previous studies have suggested, according to a new study from the Joint Global Change Research Institute in College Park, Md., More realistic emission reductions would likely provide an even smaller climate benefit.

The research, published in a recent issue of Nature Geoscience , provides evidence of how aerosols—soot, dust and other small particles in the atmosphere—can affect weather and climate. In polluted air, more and smaller drops are formed. This explains why air pollution can exacerbate both drought and flood.
