[1] The small molecule isoprene is a volatile organic compound that can react with nitrogen oxide to form the greenhouse gas ozone.

Whilst these two processes cause global warming, isoprene can also produce aerosol particles that block sunlight, resulting in a cooling effect.

[8] Unger has studied the role of ozone and aerosols on the Earth's radiation balance, and the feedback between air quality and climate change.

[11] She has argued that to achieve the Paris Agreement temperature targets wealthy countries will have to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from energy-use.

[14] This mist serves to increase the amount of solar radiation that reaches the deep layers of the forest, making the atmosphere better for the plants themselves.
