Scientists call for careful use of time scales, reference dates and statistical approaches in analyzing climate change trends to avoid distortion and hampering of response

Demonstrating that the use of different time scales, reference dates, and statistical approaches can generate highly disparate results in climate reports, scientists at the University of Alaska Anchorage argue that careful use of these tools is critical for correctly interpreting and reporting climatic trends in Alaska and other polar regions.

In climate models, if you simulate the world with sulfur emissions from shipping, and you simulate the world without these emissions, there is a sizable cooling effect from changes in the model clouds due to shipping. —co-author Hannah Director, a UW doctoral student in statistics.

Study finds some improved cookstoves may emit more black carbon pollution than traditional mud cookstoves

The first real-world, head-to-head comparison of improved cookstoves (ICs) and traditional mud stoves has found that some ICs may at times emit more of the black carbon particles that are linked to serious health and environmental concerns than traditional mud stoves or open-cook fires.

In comparison to the NEDC, the WLTP tests cars at faster speeds, different shift points, and more realistic temperatures. The WLTP range statistics are roughly 11% higher than the EPA range predictions. For instance, the WLTP switches from a 20-minute single test cycle to a 30-minute dynamic test cycle.
