“More than 90% of the reduction of global mean exposure from 2011 to 2019 is from China, according to our regional attribution. This result was astonishing when it was derived, but it could be explained well by the rapid reduction of PM2.5 concentrations due to China’s mitigation efforts, which benefit nearly one-fifth of the global population.”

The researchers also identified a stagnation in global PM2.5-related deaths, attributable to the downward trend in pollution exposure. Globally, yearly PM2.5-attributable death increased by 0.97 million from 1998 to 2011 and decreased by 0.70 million afterwards. Their calculations revelated that reductions in global PM2.5 exposure from 2012 to 2019 contributed to delaying 2.65 million deaths that otherwise would’ve been attributable to that exposure.

“By combining PM2.5 data with health and exposure-response models, we also revealed that, despite the recent sustained reduction of global PM2.5 pollution, population aging and growth are now the main challenges in alleviating PM2.5 health impacts,” said Li. “Reducing the same amount of PM2.5 now will have stronger health benefits than it would have 20 years ago, a globally prevalent phenomenon highlighted in our study.”

The researchers say China needs to continue its good work.

“There is a need to continue to sustain and develop global monitoring capabilities for PM2.5 both from satellite, but also from ground-based measurements,” Martin said. “The successes in PM2.5 reductions serve to demonstrate the benefits of PM2.5 mitigation efforts, and to motivate further mitigation.”

inbe4 china will be blamed for global cooling because china manipulated the data..

On a serieus note its good to see big reduction in pm2.5 particles.

I don't quite understand this. This is a logistical nightmare. It requires continuous loadings and unloadings at many ports from ships, trains and trailers to reach Europe via so many countries. Wouldn't it be more practical and economical by just shipping the containers directly from India or Saudi Arabia to Europe via the Suze canal, thus bypassing all the other tolls and check points?

Yeah, the biggest container ships may not be able to pass through the canal, but how many freight wagons can they put on a single journey? And this assuming they all have the same track width.

Exactly. There are at least 4 ports to load-unload between India and Greece, compared to just one direct transit through the Suez Canal. The British Empire built the Empire Suez Canal in 1859 as a shortcut shipping route between Britain and the British Raj. So those Jai Hind and Western clowns are proposing a solution to a problem that was already solved 153 years ago. And this route is not even optimized.

They could have optimized this route by building a cross-border railway line through the bulk of the Middle East, northeast of the Persian Gulf. Through maybe Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and then Central Europe.

But oh wait... India doesn't like Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey? And they don't like India too?

Plus many of them are already on the China-Central Asia-West Asia Economic Corridor. The first freight train from China had already crossed it 2016, from Xi'an to Prague, in 18-days.

Jeez, this India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor is gonna be more complex and costly to operate, 100% more costly to build, built by nations who can't even maintain their own infrastructures, have no idea where the money is gonna come from, and is proposed 7 years behind an already completed BRI competing route.

The bigger question is who is gonna benefit more? India is definitely gonna import lots of stuff from the Gulf Arab states, Israel, and Europe. But what can India ship back to them in return apart from agriculture products, low value goods, and some pharma products? India is not the world's factory like China was when it initiated BRI. Make in India has not been gaining any traction, despite all the hype since 2014.

This is what happens when a mega projects are planned by clowns, only with political objectives.

The Europeans, Arabs, and Israelis send manufactured goods to India and in return, they get thousands of creepy Indian men. It sounds like a great deal for India!

The government worker has been named, and he wasn't an ethnic Chinese.

He worked for Alicia Kearns, who was part of an anti-China think tank, and more importantly, chair of the foreign affairs select committee. He anonymously released a statement denying it, and claiming he has only worked to educate about the threat China poses.

No point in speculating whether it's true or not, that will play out in court.

Wait you are not even supposed to learn about China even if it is a part of your job? What kind of sick joke is this?
