Study finds reduced emissions during epidemic aggravated climate change
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers discovered that Covid epidemic shutdowns in South Asia significantly reduced the number of short-lived cooling particles in the air while having no effect on the concentration of long-lived greenhouse gases. Researchers were thus able to demonstrate how lower air pollution emissi
