Linking ozone pollution and climate change: The case for controlling methane
Open accessAbstract
Methane (CH 4) emission controls are found to be a powerful lever for reducing both global warming and air pollution via decreases in background tropospheric ozone (O 3). Reducing anthropogenic CH 4 emissions by 50% nearly halves the incidence of U.S. high‐O 3 events and lowers global radiative forcing by 0.37 W m−2 (0.30 W m−2 from CH 4, 0.07 W m−2 from O 3) in a 3‐D model of tropospheric chemistry. A 2030 simulation based upon IPCC A1 emissions projections shows a longer and more intense U.S. O 3 pollution season despite domestic emission reductions, indicating that intercontinental transport and a rising O 3 background should be considered when setting air quality goals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
