Malaymail Online: Air pollution will continue rising in the next decades unless nations around the world invest trillions in cleaner energy and emissions controls, the International Energy Agency said. The Paris-based agency is calling for governments to adopt a strategy to cut pollutants by half, a plan that would add about 7 per cent to the total energy investment needed through 2040, according to a report today. That includes US$4.8 trillion (RM19.8 trillion) for advanced pollution control and accelerating the...
