"Governments could slow global warming dramatically, and buy time to avert disastrous climate change, by slashing emissions of one of humanity's most familiar pollutants – soot – according to Nasa scientists. A study by the space agency shows that cutting down on the pollutant, which has so far been largely ignored by climate scientists, can have an immediate cooling effect – and prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths from air pollution at the same time. "
This plan, which would actually do good (compared to the useless AGW wastefulness) but won't gain much traction because you can't blame America for it. That darn China and India again !!
Too many of the ninnies that preach AGW confuse "pollution" and CO2, at least this article separates it.
