Discussions about net zero emission targets in response to climate change often focus on carbon dioxide, but there are other greenhouse gases that also raise the surface temperature of the earth. How much do we understand the science of GHGs and how should this impact the actions that we take? I discuss the technicalities of climate change monitoring with Chong Yen Mee, technical analyst for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Sustainability. You can read her columns on climate change issues on Malaysiakini.
