Against the backdrop of Chile’s Atacama Desert, the Salar de Atacama Mine radiates with a futuristic blue light—its cerulean pools glow like tessellated computer screens, a stark contrast to the muted landscape that surrounds them.

This knowledge can help with solar radiation management in marine ecosystems, including the Great Barrier Reef. One of the worst mass bleaching events occurred in 2016 and 2017 on the Great Barrier Reef, causing bleaching on 91% of the system’s reefs. Over the past two decades, coral reefs have declined at unprecedented rates.

Almost 20 years later, the 2020 and 2021 wildfires seasons saw those orange skies spread across the West and gave me new insight into how climate change will make that glow an increasingly present reality for more people around the world. For one, plants rely on solar radiation to grow, and the U.S. Since so many major U.S.

Radiation Testing DEP did not test anywhere on the Latkanich property for radiation or radon gas, in spite of multiple requests, according to Johnson. Radiation testing was never part of the testing that the Department performs on the site, even though we had asked repeatedly for radiation testing. Read more here.

With the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) coming up next month, it is strange to think that less than 100 years ago global warming was not widely accepted, even among experts. But climate science has a long and multidisciplinary history, with contributions from scientists both within and outside academia.

This post is an introduction to methane in climate change: where it comes from, how it’s different from CO 2 , how those differences matter, and what that all means for controls. In the early days of the climate issue, when discussions were mainly scientific, normal practice was to measure CO 2. W/m 2 from elevated CO 2.

So, the main one I suppose that caught my attention was “Climate Change is Not Making Natural Disasters” and everywhere I look, trying to approach it from your perspective, I just find it a confounding thing for you to assert. I'm not to some extent related to anthropogenic climate change. So let's go to that.
