View all partners Discussions on how to address climate change have focused, very appropriately, on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly those of carbon dioxide, the major contributor to climate change and a long-lived greenhouse gas. Reducing emissions should remain the paramount climate goal. However, greenhouse gas emissions have been increasing now for two centuries. Damage to the atmosphere is alread
