Snow plays an important role in regulating climate because it reflects the Sun’s energy back out into space and helps keep the planet cool. Snow depth, along with estimated snow density is important for water resource management,” Hu added. How much will snowfalls decline? This is where this new technique will make a difference.

Extreme heat is not just an abstract notion: if we can’t cool our bodies enough, we’re in danger of neurological failure, organ failure and even death, with the risks highest for children and the elderly. On balance, clouds nearer the stratosphere warm us, whereas low-lying clouds tend to cool us because their greenhouse effect is smaller.

The first climate change presentation I saw was back in the 1970s when I was working for the National Weather Service. Murray Mitchell, was the top climate scientist for NWS. While that got the bulk of the publicity, Dr. Mitchell assured us that the warming of the climate would be the biggest problem in the future.

A woman pours water over her head to cool off during soaring temperatures in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 11 April 2023. With our children already paying a terrible price for climate change, we must act to protect their future, urges an IPCC scientist. I am writing this as a climate scientist and a mother of two young children.

In the US, many areas have hit continuous days of record-breaking temperatures during a heatwave that climate scientists suggest might be the worst drought to hit in the last 1,200 years. As of June 29th, 39.5% of the US was suffering from some kind of drought and 48 large wildfires have already burned 661,462 acres in 12 states.

In addition, ozone depletion higher up in the stratosphere has caused a cooling high up in the atmosphere. This is likely an effect of man-made climate change. Climate scientists are convinced that the world oceans have warmed down to a depth of 700 m since the 1970s because of our past emissions of greenhouse gases.

It needs to be an informed decision with equal input from climate scientists and economists.

Pennsylvania must get this decision on RGGI right.
