Black Carbon Campaign: http://blackcarbon.org.uk/

Black carbon is released into the air by diesel engines, and also when we burn solid fuels such as coal and wood. Dark materials absorb more energy than lighter ones, and black carbon released into the air is accelerating changes to our planet’s climate.
