‘Forgotten’ pollutants cause 15 per cent of global warming

These often overlooked pollutants, such as carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds, contribute significantly to global warming, accounting for about 15% of its overall impact. Despite their substantial role, they're largely ignored in climate policies, which typically focus on more prominent greenhouse gases like CO2. This oversight could undermine global efforts to combat climate change, highlighting the need for a broader, more inclusive approach to environmental regulation. Addressing these "forgotten" pollutants could provide a more effective path to mitigating global warming.
