Student in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University Most people remember the water cycle they learned in school: water evaporates from lakes, rivers, and the ocean, air carrying this moisture rises, cools, condenses, and forms clouds, and these clouds precipitate water back down to the surface.

Although the latter accelerate the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere, on the other hand, radiative forcing (which causes warming) increases only with the logarithm of CO2 concentration, and therefore roughly linearly since the 1970s. The first graph shows the global temperature trend. C, at least with 50:50 probability.

OK, on to methane in the environment: The headline here – whether you’re talking about atmospheric concentrations, climate impacts, or emissions – is that there is a lot less methane than CO 2 , but it’s a more potent climate heater and it’s increasing faster.

It not only traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming, but the warmer temperature resulting from global warming leads to an increase in ground-level ozone, since ozone is produced indirectly from precursors like NOx and VOCs in the presence of sunlight. which is formed in the atmosphere from precursor gases such as NOx.

The previous summit, held in Madrid in 2019, ended in frustration with little progress on issues such as carbon financing or sharing climate burdens between nations. As air sunk through the atmosphere, it got squeezed and heated. Taken together, however, clouds in today’s atmosphere have an overall net cooling effect.

But if primordial black holes (PBHs) did form as early as one second after the Big Bang, during the “radiation dominated” era, things would be different. As Hawking had first realized, black holes evaporate over time, via Hawking radiation. Black holes formed much later, only after the first ancient stars had died.

People should be celebrating, not demonizing, modern increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). In other words, the Earth came within 30 ppm in CO2’s atmospheric concentration of witnessing the extinction of most land-based plants and all higher terrestrial life-forms – nearly a true climate apocalypse.
