But first, it’s critical to understand this phenomenon’s connection to climate change. Forests in western North America are particularly susceptible to wildfires due to development, land management, and climate change. That 37% equates to 19.8 million acres scorched in the western United States and southwestern Canada.

(Figure 1) These properties are a double-edged sword: while they are the root of the problems that black carbon causes, they also make mitigating black carbon one of the most actionable ways to fight climate change. Initiatives targeting black carbon have already developed amazing and innovative solutions.

Acidification : Reducing the pH rating of a substance making it more acidic in nature, for example, increased carbon emissions lead to the oceans absorbing more of it, increasing acidification and damaging ecology such as coral bleaching. Climate change : The process by which the climate changes due to “forcings”.

Roughly half of production emissions come from carbon-intensive input materials and metals, and the other half is due to the coal-burning electricity mix of manufacturing countries like China, Korea and Japan where most batteries are made. Most of the carbon emissions from cars come from fuelling them up with gas and driving them.
