The air pollution that we cannot see poses a bigger risk to our future than the air pollution we can see. When gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are released into the atmosphere they change the way the sun's energy is absorbed into our climate system, and we now know that this is changing the way the climate system works. The potential for a catastrophic rise in global temperature is going to have consequences that are difficult to imagine.
