The 24-month study process begins with the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center, a team of scientists operating within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. From that baseline hydrologists feed their model, one by one, with historical weather observations from the years 1981 to 2015.

Products that bear the label “carbon neutral” are supposed to be produced with no added emissions to the atmosphere. The National Forests Foundation advertises that for every $2 donation, they’ll plant two trees that will remove or offset 1 metric ton of CO2e from the atmosphere for the life of those trees. But can you trust it?

But the United Nations has just said that the latest commitments of the 192 parties of the 2015 Paris agreement will equate to a 16% rise in global greenhouse-gas emissions in 2030 compared to 2010. While most climate scientists are not directly involved in high-level negotiations, their work is essential to the process.
