Black carbon alone has a climate warming potential between 460-1,500 times that of CO2, and can last in the atmosphere for up to 12 days. Black carbon contributes to global warming by converting incoming solar radiation into heat, which can have detrimental effects on cloud formation and rainfall patterns.

When people are asked to explain climate change, many think it has something to do with the hole in the ozone layer. Marshall says, “More than four in 10 Americans think the ozone hole actually causes global warming. And so many of them remember and understand so much about ozone depletion. Why is that?

CFCs were destroying the ozone layer high in the Earth’s atmosphere, which is essential for protecting life from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. HFCs are less harmful than CFCs, but they create another problem – they have a strong heat-trapping effect that is contributing to global warming. HFC emissions are increasing.

During this era, humans began releasing concentrated amounts of carbon and other emissions, causing extreme air pollution and marking the start of the constant rise of atmospheric CO2, leading us to where we are today. . If this permafrost thaws, it will release CO2 and methane which can even further accelerate global warming.
