No one doubts that cutting sulfur emissions benefits public health. Luckily, when combined, the greenhouse gases methane and ground-level ozone warm the planet as much as aerosols cool it. Low-lying ozone persists for a few weeks at most, and methane disappears within a decade. And they don’t last nearly as long as CO2 does.
