A Dangerous Disruption

Legal Planet

The “for one year” part is crucial: stratospheric aerosols stay in the atmosphere roughly a year, so one gram offsets the heating effect of one ton only for the first year after the ton is emitted. SAI can offset the effects of greenhouse gases on global-average temperature, but not their total climatic and environmental effects.

The Fuss about Methane

Legal Planet

Methane is essential to control, since stabilizing climate requires reducing all anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions to net-zero. Atmospheric concentrations. That small concentration of methane in the atmosphere makes an outsized contribution to global heating. And more methane initiatives are surely on the way.

Antarctic extreme events: ‘All-time records are being shattered not from decades ago, but from the last few years and months’

Frontiers

A new study published in Frontiers in Environmental Science has revealed that, in addition to the influence of gradual global heating, Antarctica is increasingly affected by extreme environmental events; a recognized and predicted outcome of our heating world. The world’s largest ever heatwave (38.5C

What Happened During the Montana Youth Climate Trial

Legal Planet

As I outlined here , Montana state law prohibits the consideration of greenhouse gas emissions or climate impacts–– inside and outside the state’s borders––when reviewing projects and approving permits. This now-infamous climate prohibition has been called a “limitation” on the Montana Environmental Policy Act, or MEPA.

Speaking Truth to Corporate Power

Legal Planet

Management approved her shift in emphasis, hoping that she would prove that aerosols in the atmosphere (including those from auto exhaust) would completely offset the greenhouse gas effect. He talked her into studying climate change. Her research didn’t come out that way. You can’t fairly call these scientists heroic.

Carbon removal using ‘blue carbon’ habitats “uncertain and unreliable”

Frontiers

Lead author Dr Phil Williamson, honorary reader in UEA’s School of Environmental Sciences, said: “We have looked into the processes involved in carbon removal and there are just too many uncertainties.
