Abstract: This Perspective considers the extent to which early action to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, such as methane and black carbon, would help to limit global warming. Although decreasing emissions of these pollutants would have short-term benefits, simultaneous CO2 reductions are urgently required to mitigate the risk of dangerous climate change in the longer term.
