Yuhang WangThe air pollution that lingered over eastern China for nearly a month in 2013 has been linked to the loss of Arctic sea ice the previous autumn. A study says the haze lasted much longer because the melting ice and increased snowfall altered wind circulation patterns...."Had the Chinese government not reduced emissions as much as they did in the last four years we would have seen the same or worse airpocalypse events," said Yuhang Wang from Georgia Tech University, one of the report's authors. Yuhang Wang is a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology. The report he co-authored was first published in Science Advances.
