This is a Bill to establish a task force to review policies and measures to promote, and to develop best practices for, reduction of short-lived climate pollutants (black carbon, methane, high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons) and for other purposes. According to this Bill short-lived climate pollutants account for 40 percent of global warming. Reducing these could prevent more than 2,000,000 premature deaths; prevent more than 30,000,000 tons of crop losses each year; cut the rate of sea level rise by 25 percent etc.
