New climate models with high climate sensitivity are not plausible

A recent analysis of the latest generation of climate models – known as CMIP6 – provides a cautionary tale on the interpretation of climate simulations as scientists develop more sensitive and sophisticated projections of how the Earth will respond to rising levels. of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Researchers from princeton university and the University […]

University of Wyoming researchers modify climate patterns from the air

Wildfire research has become increasingly important in recent years as climate change has made fires more frequent and intense. But smoke from wildfires could have a bigger effect on the climate than previously thought. Wyoming Public Radio’s Ivy Engel spoke with Shane Murphy, a University of Wyoming researcher who has studied the smoke inside plumes. […]
