Climate change played a significant role in causing extreme air pollution in China during 2013 December and more such „airpocalypses“ are most likely to become common in the coming years, the new study has found.

This new research study was led by Prof Yuhang Wang from Georgia Institute of Technology based in Atlanta. Mr Wang specifically blamed the ‚fast melting ice in the Arctic sea‘ and ‚unprecedented increase in snowfall in Serbia‘ for worsening climate conditions across the globe, including China.
„The very rapid change in polar warming is really having a large impact on China,“ Wang said as he explained further „Mostly that’s because of a very rapid change in the high Polar Regions where sea ice is decreasing and snowfall is increasing. “
Wang claimed that this perturbation process „keeps cold air from getting into the eastern parts of China, where it would flush out the air pollution.
