The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of infra-red (IR) radiation from the Earth’s surface to space) is easily deducible from; i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and, ii) knowing that the planet is normally close to radiative equilibrium.

The data are from the independent open-source Berkeley Earth project – a project by the formerly outspoken climate skeptic physicist Richard Muller, which in 2010 set out to do better than the traditional climate institutes and in the end obtained almost exactly the same results, just a slightly faster global warming.

Artificial intelligence can be used to detect coronal holes in the Sun’s upper atmosphere, an international research team has shown. When observed at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths, holes can appear in the Sun’s corona – its upper atmosphere. Coronal holes are indicated by red contour lines. Courtesy: Jarolim et al.

Lo first became interested in this area while studying physics and astronomy at Durham University , UK, where her final-year project looked at how to calibrate telescopes to correct for atmospheric effects on the radiation they detect. Eunice Lo is a researcher at the University of Bristol and frequently contributes to climate reports.

I’m a geochemist by training and after I did my PhD at the University of Bordeaux, France, in 2010, my supervisor inspired me to study materials from space. Bombarded by cosmic radiation, they usually contain noble gases such as helium and neon. How did you get into space science? What else can we discover about meteorites? mg and 4.5?mg

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. The rate of emissions growth year on year slowed between 2010-2019 in comparison to the previous decade. C by the end of the century.

from Rogelj et al (2018) – note how the red dot marked 2010 moves to the purple dot marked 2010, once historical modelling uncertainties are corrected for. This is best illustrated by this technical figure from SR1.5. Source: Figure 2.3 Between SR1.5 AR6 uses deep mitigation pathways assessed by SR1.5
