On the causal link between carbon dioxide and air pollution mortality
Open accessAbstract
Greenhouse gases and particle soot have been linked to enhanced sea‐level, snowmelt, disease, heat stress, severe weather, and ocean acidification, but the effect of carbon dioxide (CO 2) on air pollution mortality has not been examined or quantified. Here, it is shown that increased water vapor and temperatures from higher CO 2 separately increase ozone more with higher ozone; thus, global warming may exacerbate ozone the most in already‐polluted areas. A high‐resolution global‐regional model then found that CO 2 may increase U.S. annual air pollution deaths by about 1000 (350–1800) and cancers by 20–30 per 1 K rise in CO 2‐induced temperature. About 40% of the additional deaths may be due to ozone and the rest, to particles, which increase due to CO 2‐enhanced stability, humidity, and biogenic particle mass. An extrapolation by population could render 21,600 (7400–39,000) excess CO 2‐caused annual pollution deaths worldwide, more than those from CO 2‐enhanced storminess.

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.
