New in this UCS analysis is a look at the public health co-benefits of reducing air pollution from fossil fuels that occur from decarbonizing our economy. Knowing what these substantial benefits are can help us better understand the true impacts of reducing our fossil fuel emissions. Source: UCS.

Take for instance: the burning Cuyahoga River that led to the Clean Water Act; the disastrous air pollution incident in Donora, PA that led to the passage of the Clean Air Act; the discovery of Love Canal that lead to the passage of Superfund; and most tragically, the chemical gas release in Bhopal, India that lead to the passage of EPCRA.

An area of high pressure above the Pacific Ocean was driven eastwards through the jet stream by a “Rossby wave” – a planetary-scale fluctuation arising from the Coriolis force. The Rossby wave eventually “broke”, dumping its energy – like an ocean wave hitting the shore – to create an area of high pressure locked over western Canada and US.
