Black Carbon -- Changing Planet

The video discusses black carbon, a major pollutant from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, contributing to global warming and health issues. It highlights the environmental impact, including the albedo effect on snow and ice melt. Researchers study black carbon's historical data to understand its sources and effects. Solutions like Project Surya aim to reduce emissions by providing cleaner cooking technologies, offering a quick way to mitigate global warming due to black carbon's short atmospheric lifespan.
