Impact on short-lived climate forcers increases projected warming due to deforestation
Description: Here researchers show that a scenario of complete global deforestation results in a net positive radiative forcing (RF; 0.12 W m−2) from short-lived climate forcers (including aerosol, ozone and methane) with the negative RF from decreases in ozone and methane concentrations partially offsetting the positive aerosol RF.
