Yuhang WangChina has become a world leader in the fight against global warming, but its severe winter air pollution has worsened -- likely as a result of changing atmospheric circulation caused by climate change, according to a new study published in the journal Science Advances.
While emissions are decreasing in China, the winter haze is not improving “because of a very rapid change in the high polar regions where sea ice is decreasing and snowfall is increasing,” said study author Yuhang Wang, a professor of earth and atmospheric sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
