Abstract :
At the very beginning of this year, news that heavy pollution containing black carbon from Asia was drifting all the way to the Pacific coast of the United States made headlines in the news media. The pollution cloud was attributed to Chinese manufacturing. Old-fashioned air pollution, acid rain, and extreme weather events from climate change are just three of the consequences of intensive fossil fuel burning.
