New scientific information has yielded insights, including updates to our understanding of, and ability to model, the atmosphere, and the studies of the long-term effects of radiation on affected populations have yielded new information. Why would a UN-commissioned study be important?

The use of radiative forcing to understand emissions trajectories was then paired with varied political pathways to generate Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). Four RCP scenarios describe different levels of radiative forcing in the atmosphere by 2100. These pathways describe different global socioeconomic conditions (e.g.,

however, radiation monitors in the building detected above-normal background radioactivity, consisting of fission fragments from the ruptured cladding of a fuel element. No indications of elevated radiation levels outside the building.” They are also lightning rods for political and social concerns. Shortly after 9 a.m.,

This decision is a political move, not a military one. These weapons, too, are political signals, justified by NATO as a symbol of US commitment, alliance solidarity, and reassurance. But these political signals are still harmful when they come from the United States. Belarus borders both Russia and Ukraine.

We are very fortunate to have bipartisan support on this in the House and the Senate and across the political party aisle too. There needs to also be educational programs to educate community members and policymakers on the effects of radiation and how to prevent things like this from happening again. You can share your story here.

Even more surprisingly, that changes the atmosphere’s radiation profile. The politics are almost as unstable as the climate system. It turns out — I’ll bet even most AIs don’t know this — the oxidized carbon byproduct of our fuels has a nasty tendency to pile up in the atmosphere. Or at least, half of us are.

The most important problem with the sun-climate explanation is that there has been no long-term change in either solar activity or cosmic radiation over the last hundred years that can explain the global warming we are now seeing. Hence my friend’s question about COP28.
