Several SLCPs, including methane, black carbon and hydrofluorocarbons, can exert a much stronger warming effect than carbon dioxide over shorter time horizons. II. Since SLCPs persist in the atmosphere for relatively shorter periods, their contribution to warming over a 100-year horizon is effectively zero. III. Mitigation of SLCPs can contribute significantly to slowing the pace of warming in the near term, particularly over the next one or two decades. Which of the statements given above are correct?
