A GCM Study of Future Climate Response to Air Pollution Reductions
We use the global atmospheric GCM aerosol model ECHAM5-HAM to asses
possible impacts of future air pollution mitigation strategies on climate. Air quality
control strategies focus on the reduction of aerosol emissions. Here we investigate the extreme
case of a maximum feasible abatement of aerosols in the near term future (2030)
in combination with increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations. The temperature
response of increasing GHG concentrations and reduced aerosol emissions leads
to a global annual mean equilibrium temperature response of 2.18 K. When aerosols
will be only abated in the Industry and Powerplant sector, whereas the Domestic and
Transport sectors stay with currently enforced regulations, the temperature response
