<font size=5><b>"The crucial role of anthropogenic short lived
species in climate, climate change and air quality"<br><br>
</b></font></div>
Abstract:<br>
A group of US research laboratories are working to assess the sign,
magnitude and duration of future climate change driven by methane and
short-lived anthropogenic radiative species [tropospheric ozone and the
short-lived anthropogenic aerosols, black and organic carbon and
sulfate]. Methane and the short-lived aerosols and gases listed above are
largely of anthropogenic origin, important contributors to radiative
forcing, and primarily controlled for reasons of local and regional air
quality. After a brief introduction to atmospheric chemisttry, I will
present examples of win-win, win-break even and win-<br>
lose air pollution control strategies, when the climate impacts of future
actions taken to reduce local and regional air pollution are
considered.<br>
