Dear Amanda

 

Like several other bloggers, Romm seems to misunderstand the difference
between forcing and warming. 

 

"This demonstrates that curbing black carbon emissions could have
significant impact on reducing regional climate change while having a
positive impact on human health."

 

The great majority of BC is not human in origin so any 'impact' would be on
health, if we choose to have some impact. As work progresses on defining the
health impacts of ultra-fine particles from cooking fires, we will have the
attention of a larger audience than before. As they say, there is no such
thing as bad publicity. 

 

For a healthier world.

Crispin

 

Thanks Crispin. 

 

Here is an excellent summary of the article by Joe Romm on Climate Progress:

Dear Friends



A new and I would say major major paper on the atmospheric impact of black
carbon particles is available for download. We know at least two of the
authors here on 'Stoves'. Profs Tami Bond and Philip Hopke (the aethalometer
builder who said he was a minor contributor) are frequent contributors on
the subject of emissions testing.



The paper is important because it is the first really detailed examination
of the effects of atmospheric heating by Black Carbon (BC).



The abstract is at
<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgrd.50171/abstract>
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgrd.50171/abstract and the paper
is at

 <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgrd.50171/pdf>
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgrd.50171/pdf



It is not behind a paywall but it is large (40 MB). Times to get your hands
dirty with BC!



Regards

Crispin
