Https://twitter.com/rahmstorf/status/1684149268855107586?s=20 Big wave on Twitter yesterday about a new study of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, (an important component of circulation in the Global Oceans, that takes in what people think of as the Gulf Stream but is actually much more). It's been discussed on this blog numerous times, will try to summarize…
Scientists have warned that a significant ocean system could collapse beginning 2025. What will be the effects of this phenomenon? Read more here.
Observational evidence shows the ubiquitous presence of ocean-emitted short-lived halogens in the global atmosphere1–3. Natural emissions of these chemical compounds have been anthropogenically amplified since pre-industrial times4–6, while, in addition, anthropogenic short-lived halocarbons are currently being emitted to the atmosphere7,8. Despite their widespread distribution in the atmosphere, the combined impact of these species on Earth’s radiative balance remains unknown. Here we show that short-lived halogens exert a substantial indirect cooling effect at present (W...
