Scenarios of World Anthropogenic Emissions of Air Pollutants and Methane up to 2030

Global warming is influenced not only by the emissions of direct greenhouse gases, but also – in the indirect way by the emissions of air pollutants. While NOx, CO, and nonmethane VOC contribute to global ozone formation, emissions of sulphur dioxide form aerosols, which have important cooling effect. Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas, and accounts for ca. 20% of the direct radiative forcing from greenhouse gases.
