Question

short-lived climate pollutants (slcps) persist in the atmosphere for a few days to a few decades

Answer 1

Explanation:

Black carbon, tropospheric ozone, methane, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are all considered short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Because these pollutants have atmospheric lifetimes of only days to a decade and a half (compared to CO2 which can persist in the atmosphere for millennia) they are referred to as short-lived climate pollutants. SLCPs account for 40-45% of global warming, making fast mitigation of these climate forcers, along with CO2 mitigation, essential to combatting climate change.
