The emissions from the burning of coal such as steel and power plants are the single biggest contributor to climate change. Climate scientists say that weaning countries off coal is vital to achieving global climate targets which are already weak and will need to be strengthened in coming years if we are to stay below the 1.5

Altering cloud properties influences Earth’s climate On sunny days, it’s clear that clouds leave shadows on the landscape. Climate scientists are interested in clouds for exactly this reason- clouds reflect sunlight, which has a cooling effect on surface temperatures. Cirrus clouds formed this way have many, small ice crystals.
