Is global warming irreversible?
Almost certainly yes, according to a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. While some gases contributing to global warming, like methane and nitrous oxide, will disappear if we cut back on emissions, carbon dioxide (CO2), the most prominent of greenhouse gases, will not go away. “People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide that the climate would go back to normal in 100 years or 200 years. What we’re showing... Read More
Why volcanoes could be our clue to stopping global warming — one scientist’s support for geoengineering
In addition to commenting on noteworthy stories and posting my published work, I also plan to use this blog as a space to discuss ongoing research and reporting of mine for stories or projects I’m working on. Right now, I’m working a piece about geoengineering (also referred to as climate engineering), an environmental concept that, in essence, advocates proactive measures to counteract the effects of climate change and global warming. Instead of relying on curbing... Read More
