Climeworks uses heat from the earth, or geothermal, or even excess steam from other industrial processes to cut down on pollution and costs.

Negative emissions should not be considered a silver bullet, but they may help us if we continue to stall at cutting down on CO2 pollution worldwide.

How does pollution, which you can see in the white wisps of sulfate pollution in Europe, how does that affect the temperatures at the surface and the sunlight that you get at the surface?

We can look at the pollution from China.

How do air pollution and climate coexist?

Can we change things that affect air pollution and climate at the same time?

Here's another problem: we've conquered darkness, but in the process, we spill so much extra light out into the night that it disrupts the lives of other creatures, and fireflies are especially sensitive to light pollution because it obscures the signals that they use to find their mates.

So this diagram illustrates a computer simulation that has looked at all the different factors that we know can influence the Earth's climate, so sulfate particles from air pollution, volcanic dust from volcanic eruptions, changes in solar radiation, and, of course, greenhouse gases.

Unfortunately, because of the pollution of the river, it has been covered little by little by concrete slabs since 1952.

Then pollution takes its toll, mainly due to untreated sewage and chemical dumping from crafts such as tanning.

Now, that's a problem that's similar to another area that we all know about, which is of fuel use and energy, and of course energy use both depletes energy as well as leads to local pollution and climate change.

Now, if you think about how we deal with energy pricing, for instance, we consider emissions taxes, which means we're imposing the costs of pollution on people who actually use that energy.

But the data were simply not telling the truth of what people were seeing and breathing, and it's because they were failing to measure PM2.5, or fine particulate pollution.

Now, this questioning has led to an environmental awakening of sorts in China, forcing China's government to tackle its pollution problems.

Public outcry over air pollution galvanized China's government, perhaps in an act of self-preservation, to think big and decisively about how it could tackle the root of its air pollution and many of its other environmental problems: its energy system.

And we see some evidence now that China's efforts on clean energy is actually having an effect, not just on air pollution reduction, but also on global climate change, where China has the world's largest carbon footprint.

In most major Chinese cities, air pollution has fallen by as much as 30 percent.

And this reduction in air pollution is actually leading people to live longer lives in China, on average two and a half years more than they would have in 2013.

To borrow a line from Chai Jing, we're all under the same dome, and air pollution that originates in China can travel beyond its borders and affect populations as far away as those in North America.

China's not only exporting air pollution, but they're also exporting aid, infrastructure, technology abroad.

So we can see that even though China is cleaning up at home, it's exporting some of that pollution to other countries, and greenhouse gas emissions simply don't have a passport.

What they do on carbon trading, on clean energy, on air pollution, we can learn many lessons.

One of those lessons is that clean energy is not just good for the environment, it can save lives by reducing air pollution.

Conversely, the reduced light pollution saves over a billion birds each year whose migrations were disrupted by blinking communication tower lights and high-tension wires.
