 Pollution and climate change interact to increase risk of 'climate punishment' Amid the heatwave that has ravaged Europe and China this year, steady high-pressure atmospheric conditions, sunshine and low wind speeds have all contributed to high pollution levels, said WMO secretary-general Petri Taalas. "This is a rehearsal for the future, as we expect further increases in the frequency, intensity and duration of heatwaves, which will lead to worse air quality, a phenomenon known as 'climate punishment'," he said. "Climate penalty" refers specifically to the amplified effect of climate change on ground-level ozone production, which adversely affects the air people breathe. The regions where the "climate penalty" is projected to be strongest (mainly in Asia) are home to about a quarter of the world's population. Air quality and climate are interlinked, as the chemicals that cause air quality degradation are often emitted along with green...
