&gt; Decarbonising would remove many other pollutants and particulates from the atmosphere, and should lead to health benefits like reduced asthma in cities.<p>But it&#x27;s not all benefit. In rushing to decarbonize, we use alternative energy sources.  A lot of battery and solar technology uses heavy metals that break down and seep into the water supply when they are improperly discarded.  There are no magic bullet answers, the only solution is a holistic one and so far, only the climate scientists have won the attention of the politicians.  Validity arguments aside, it makes you wonder if there&#x27;s an ulterior motive.
