Black carbon soot particles, which result from fossil fuels and biomass,
have a threefold damaging effect which causes dramatic melting of the arctic ice:
They absorb radiating heat from the sun and warm its direct environment, they interact with clouds and affect rainfall patterns
and they fall onto snow and ice and change the overall reflectivity of those surfaces and accelerates the onset of spring melt.
Therefore the reduction of diesel emissions of vehicles and offroad-engines of diesel powered rail vehicles, ships and construction machines
is important for a stable climate.
