Aerosols are tiny particles in the air that can be produced when we burn different types of fossil

fuels, in different ways. Aerosols have a profound impact on the climate because, just like
greenhouse gases, they can change the Earth’s “radiative,” or energy, balance.
Refrigerants go the same way, these invisible and odorless gases are “climate super-pollutants,”
with thousands of times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.
