Climate Scientist Cooling Fossil Fuels 
Union of Concerned Scientists
JANUARY 7, 2025
Scientists are sounding the alarm because this warming is shockingly bigbigger than what we would have expected given the long-term warming trend from fossil fuel-caused climate change. Its a great question, but the warming effect from heat-trapping gases far outweighs the cooling effect from industrial aerosols.

While the main focus has been on operational activities in Antarctica, global warming caused by fossil-fuel burning by these (and other) countries has left Antarctica on the brink of irreversible change. Prof Martin Siegert is an award-winning Antarctic glaciologist and climate scientist.

A woman pours water over her head to cool off during soaring temperatures in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 11 April 2023. With our children already paying a terrible price for climate change, we must act to protect their future, urges an IPCC scientist. I am writing this as a climate scientist and a mother of two young children.

To get an assessment of the progress thus far, as well as an idea if what has to happen next, I turned to two of my colleagues in the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) Climate & Energy Program: Principal Climate Scientist Rachel Licker and Transmission Policy Manager Sam Gomberg. How cool is that?

As the climate continues to change and average global temperatures rise, heat domes, heat waves, and extreme temperatures days will become more frequent. But the thing about a heat dome is that the air barely cools off in the evening. Well, for one, we stop fueling the fire. So how do we bring down the heat?

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

The world’s nations, particularly the top burners of fossil fuels such as the United States, have yet to unify to prevent uncontrolled global warming. Such communities are often already overburdened with pollution associated with fossil fuel burning and proximity to polluting industries.
