In the long term, emissions of CO2 and other long-lived greenhouse gases constitute the main problem. But a reduction in emissions of soot (and other short-lived climate pollutants) could alleviate the pressures on the climate in the coming decades.
当然，针对烟尘和其他短效颗粒物所采取的措施不应影响到二氧化碳的减排努力。长远来看，二氧化碳和其他长效温室气体的排放才是必须解决的主要问题。但减少烟尘（和其他短效气候污染物）排放可能会在今后几十年减轻对气候造成的压力。
