Long-term records reveal the impact of climate change on atmospheric circulation
The global map shows global cloud cover on July 11, 2005, based primarily on observations from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor aboard the NASA Terra satellite. Patterns in cloud cover reveal large-scale atmospheric circulation. Credit: NASA How climate change affects thermodynamic signals such as atmospheric temperature is relatively well understood. However, its influence on atmospheric circulation is more…

Technosphere: Hidden long-term carbon sinks in everyday items
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Although we know a lot about how much fossil-derived carbon is released into the atmosphere, we know less about how much is stored in man-made products. In a study published Dec. 20 in Cell Reports Sustainability, environmental economists say humans add approximately 400 million tons of fossil carbon each year to long-lasting products such as plastics,…

Humans are already causing long-term global warming of 1.5°C, according to new estimates
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain New research published today in Nature Geoscience by Dr Andrew Jarvis of Lancaster University and Professor Piers Forster of the University of Leeds shows that humans have already contributed to global warming of 1.5°C, measured since the period just before the industrial revolution and the 2000s. This indicates that it may be causing the The beginning…
