Study finds global emissions of several banned ozone-destroying CFCs are increasing

Green Car Congress

APRIL 10, 2023

The research, published in Nature Geoscience and led by the University of Bristol and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), puts the rise in part down to the chemicals, known as chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, being used to make other ozone-friendly alternatives to CFCs.

MUCHACHAS study finds aging of organic aerosols is caused by OH radicals; climate models need to be updated

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 5, 2012

An international team of researchers has discovered that chemical aging determines to a major extent the concentration and the characteristics of organic aerosol particles, which have a significant effect on climate. To date, this aspect has not been accounted for in regional and global climate models. Donahue et al.,

OCTOBER 11, 2010

Most climate models have suggested that evapotranspiration, which is the movement of water from the land to the atmosphere, would increase with global warming because of increased evaporation of water from the ocean and more precipitation overall. —Beverly Law, a professor of global change forest science at Oregon State University.
