Global Heat Reduction

We're working to slow global warming, faster

[Global Heat Reduction @GHRinit]

📢 Mitigating super pollutants, like methane and black carbon, will have an immediate impact on slowing global warming, and the good news is that the technology to do so exists today.

2024 will be the hottest year on record, following 2023, which was the 2nd hottest year.

[Dr. Robert Rohde @RARohde]

When it occurred, 2016 was striking as the hottest directly measured year up until that point.

Eight years later, 2024 will set a new record for the hottest year.

2024 will be ~0.25 °C (~0.45 °F) hotter than 2016.

[NOAA @NOAA]

(1 of 5) JUST IN: #Fall 2024 was the nation’s warmest on record.

The U.S. experienced its warmest year-to-date period on record.

With sweeping implications for climate change, health and agriculture, tropospheric ozone contributes 0.23°C of global warming. It’s time for urgent and immediate global action to address the dangerous super pollutant.

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Tropospheric ozone is one of the super pollutants driving half of global warming 🤯🌎

Yet dedicated action to reduce it is absent from the climate policy agenda at a global, regional, and country level.

Hear from @MartinaOtto from @CCACoalition on why going after super pollutants is KEY to slowing global warming and tackling climate change.

[We Don't Have Time @WeDontHaveTime]

"This is the other half of warming that we have put to the side & not put so much attention on." 🔍 Why is focusing on #methane & other super pollutants key to tackling #climatechange? 🦹 @MartinaOtto, @CCACoalition told us more at #COP29 in #Baku

N2O (nitrous oxide) is no longer a forgotten super pollutant.

“Abating N₂O emissions could avoid up to 235 billion tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions by 2100,” said David Kanter, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at NYU and Co-Chair of the Assessment.

[Climate & Clean Air Coalition @CCACoalition]

N₂O is currently the most significant ozone-layer depleting substance being emitted to the atmosphere, equal to all other current ODS emissions.

Ambitious abatement could have 5x the benefits provided by the Montreal Protocol accelerated phase-out of HCFCs by 2100.

[Climate & Clean Air Coalition @CCACoalition]

Ambitious abatement of N₂O emissions could contribute to saving 20 million lives by 2050 through improved air quality.​

2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record.

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

🚨Once again, we are sending out a Red Alert.

📈The #StateOfClimate update at #COP29 confirms that 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record—hotter even than 2023, which smashed all previous records.

[International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) @MethaneData]

At #COP29, governments and a coalition of NGOs announced the #Methane Abatement Partnership Roadmap.

Credible data and frameworks provided by @UNEP’s IMEO will be essential to #CutMethane through transparency and accountability.

Yet dedicated action to reduce it is absent from the climate policy agenda at a global, regional, and country level.

Reducing tropospheric ozone has untapped potential to mitigate the impact of human-induced #ClimateChange.

It could also deliver cleaner air, reduce premature deaths and save billions in economic costs.

[Global Heat Reduction @GHRinit]

Did you know that Nitrous Oxide is incredibly more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of warming the planet? The Global Nitrous Oxide Assessment, released this week, makes it clear that we must take urgent action to reduce N2O in order to slow global warming.

#climateaction #sustainability #climatesolutions

[Climate & Clean Air Coalition @CCACoalition]

Nitrous oxide is currently the most significant ozone-layer depleting substance being emitted into the atmosphere.

The Global Nitrous Oxide Assessment shows that proactively tackling N₂O would also support the continued recovery of the ozone layer, helping to avoid a future in which much of the global population is exposed to harmful UV levels. ​

Keeping a close eye on the climate super pollutant developments during the UN climate negotiations at @COP29_AZ. Rick Duke from the US Dept of State emphasized that focusing on climate super pollutants was a key gap in our climate policy, that is now being addressed so we can hit the "climate emergency brake" on warming in the near term.

[We Don't Have Time @WeDontHaveTime]

Taking ambitious action to reduce N₂O emissions could help prevent up to 20 million premature deaths globally by 2050 due to poor air quality, and avoid the equivalent of up to 235 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by 2100.
