Google pledges roughly three hours of its annual profit to fight climate change

"Superpollutants are a major part of the equation to limit atmospheric warming. Experts agree that eliminating them where we can is one of the most powerful levers we have to deliver near-term impact, playing a vital and complementary role to removing CO2."

"The gases break down faster than CO2 but can trap heat thousands of times more efficiently, and the coalition claims that aggressive action could prevent more than half a degree Celsius of warming by 2050."

Google has pledged at least $50 million through 2030 to eliminate superpollutants as part of the newly formed Superpollutant Action Initiative, joined by Amazon and Salesforce. The coalition's total commitment reaches $100 million aimed at reducing methane, black carbon, and refrigerant gases. These superpollutants break down faster than CO2 but trap heat thousands of times more efficiently, accounting for close to half of all planetary warming. Experts identify eliminating superpollutants as one of the most powerful levers for near-term climate impact. The coalition projects that aggressive action could prevent more than half a degree Celsius of warming by 2050, complementing CO2 removal efforts.
