Using Clouds to Fight Climate Change

HumanNature

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.

Ask a Scientist: ‘Danger Season’ Summers Disproportionately Harm Disadvantaged Communities

Union of Concerned Scientists

Climate scientists at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) have dubbed the six-month stretch from May through October the “ Danger Season.” Not only has much of what climate scientists have been warning about come to pass, many of the extreme weather events the planet is now experiencing are worse than they expected. “To
