Stop the sooty show - Oliver Tickell argues that while progress on CO2 is stymied, the world should take immediate action to reduce emissions of 'black carbon'. BC is the most important agent of global warming after CO2, and comes mainly from forest and land clearance, biomass burning, charcoal production, domestic wood and coal stoves, dirty old diesel and 2-stroke engines, and industry. But unlike CO2, most BC emissions take place in the developing world, with Latin America and Africa leading the emissions field. It's time to drop the old rhetoric of blame, and move into a new era of cooperation in the global interest. Published in the New Statesman, 17 May 2010.
