Japan Marine Research and Development Agency published a paper

  China's carbon emissions reduced by 35% in 10 years

  This newspaper’s Tokyo Telegraph reporter Su Haihe reported: A research team from the Japanese Marine Research and Development Agency recently published a paper in a European professional magazine, saying that observations have found that China’s carbon emissions have been reduced by 35% in 10 years since 2009, and that China has achieved air pollution control measures. With positive progress, the research results will play an important role in predicting global warming with high accuracy.

  Scientific research has found that if fossil fuels are discharged into nature without being fully burned, they will absorb the heat of sunlight and cause global warming. So far, all countries have calculated carbon emissions based on total fuel consumption, but due to differences in combustion efficiency and environmental protection measures, the accuracy of calculation is obviously insufficient.

  The Japanese research team began to observe the concentration of soot in the atmosphere on Fukue Island in Nagasaki Prefecture in 2009. Affected by the westerly wind, the local area captured air pollutants from China. Based on the observations of the year, the research team found that China's carbon emissions have been reduced by 35% in the past 10 years.

  The UN Group of Governmental Experts on Climate Change plans to publish a new environmental report in 2021. The research results of the Japan Marine Research and Development Agency will change related views. Yuzu Kanaya, a member of the Japanese research team, an atmospheric environmental material science expert, and a senior researcher at the marine agency, said: "It can be considered that the decline in China's carbon emissions is an effective manifestation of the Chinese government's policies to control the atmospheric environment."
