EU Shipping Significantly Underestimates Black Carbon Emissions in the Arctic
A new study shows that black carbon emissions from ships connected to EU trade in the Arctic nearly doubled between 2015 and 2021, reaching 413 tonnes within the IMO Arctic definition, significantly accelerating sea ice melt due to the particles' heat absorption and reduced ice reflectivity; this hi...
