Unfortunately, contemporary ice-making and maintenance technologies consume large amounts of energy and produce refrigerant gases that cause pollution , making them environmentally harmful. CFCs and HCFCs are synthetic gases attributed to ozone layer destruction. Traditional ice rinks have noise, energy waste and pollution costs.

Michael Diamond thought he’d have to wait until this year, at least, to have enough data to understand how a shipping regulation aimed at curbing pollution affected the clouds that deck the ocean. Yet, it’s had the unintended consequence of ramping up near-term global warming. “They’re so variable.

Black carbon alone has a climate warming potential between 460-1,500 times that of CO2, and can last in the atmosphere for up to 12 days. Black carbon contributes to global warming by converting incoming solar radiation into heat, which can have detrimental effects on cloud formation and rainfall patterns.

During this era, humans began releasing concentrated amounts of carbon and other emissions, causing extreme air pollution and marking the start of the constant rise of atmospheric CO2, leading us to where we are today. . If this permafrost thaws, it will release CO2 and methane which can even further accelerate global warming.
