The observed reduction in surface warming trend over the period 1998 to 2012 as compared to the period 1951 to 2012, is due in roughly equal measure to a reduced trend in radiative forcing and a cooling contribution from natural internal variability, which includes a possible redistribution of heat within the ocean ( medium confidence ).

Specifically, we found that photovoltaics can significantly warm the urban environment during the day, but typically cool the urban environment at night. Other studies, particularly modelling studies, had previously suggested a daytime cooling effect of photovoltaics. What research did you include in your study?

If people everywhere stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, stored heat would still continue to warm the atmosphere. Picture how a radiator heats a home. Water is heated by a boiler, and the hot water circulates through pipes and radiators in the house. The radiators warm up and heat the air in the room.

The dramatic dimming of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse in 2019–20 was caused by a cold spot on the surface of the star causing a nearby gas cloud to cool and condense into obscuring dust, according to new findings. They found that whatever instigated the dimming did indeed manifest as a cold patch in the star’s atmosphere.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. The danger is that the Antarctic sea ice is starting to behave like the Arctic, with sustained loss of ocean cover and consequent absorption of solar radiation.
