Correction to ‘‘Control of fossil-fuel particulate black carbon and organic matter, possibly the most effective method of slowing global warming’’

[1] This document describes two updates and a correction that affect two figures (Figures 1 and 14) in ‘‘Control of fossil-fuel particulate black carbon and organic matter, possibly the most effective method of slowing global warming’’ by Mark Z. Jacobson (Journal of Geophysical Research, 107(D19), 4410, doi:10.1029/2001JD001376, 2002). The modifications have no effect on the numerical simulati...

Control of fossil-fuel particulate black carbon and organic matter, possibly the most effective method of slowing global warming

[1] Under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, no control of black carbon (BC) was considered. Here, it is found, through simulations in which 12 identifiable effects of aerosol particles on climate are treated, that any emission reduction of fossil-fuel (f.f.) particulate BC plus associated organic matter (OM) may slow global warming more than may any emission reduction of CO2 or CH4 for a specific period...

Will black carbon mitigation dampen aerosol indirect forcing?

[1] If mitigation of black carbon (BC) particulate matter is accompanied by a decrease in particle number emissions, and thereby by a decrease in global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations, a decrease in global cloud radiative forcing (a reverse “cloud albedo effect”) results. We consider two present‐day mitigation scenarios: 50% reduction of primary black carbon/organic carbon (BC/O...

Soil Organic Carbon Stocks and Nitrogen Content Comparison in Different Slope Positions in Native Grasslands and Adjacent Cultivated Soils (Case Study: Kermanshah Mountain Rangelands, Iran)

Global warming has been largely driven by increasing atmospheric GHG (Green House Gasses), particularly carbon dioxide caused by fossil fuels burning. The current trend can not be stopped except by reducing fossil fuel consumption or storing organic carbon in soil or earthchr('39')s biological systems such as forests, rangelands and agricultural systems. This study was conducted to determine th...
