Two Treaties Needed
Berkeley graduate student researcher Stacy C. Jackson makes the compelling argument that two distinct treaties are needed in Copenhagen at the U.N. Climate Change Summit to separately address the mitigation of long-lived versus short- and medium-lived pollutants. This conclusion results from her analysis of the contributors (pollutants & activities) to climate forcing over a 20-year period.
Her conclusions have been published in Science Magazine and may be read at Science.
