An international team of researchers has shed light on one way new particles are forming in the upper troposphere. All of the scientific uncertainty around climate change relates to clouds in one way or another, said Wang’s advisor and co-author Neil Donahue, professor in chemistry.

Up there, 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, ozone molecules absorb the sun’s ultraviolet light, protecting life far below. This question of whether climate change becomes so bad that we have to do something to dull its impacts and reduce human suffering is a very big one,” says Keutsch, an atmospheric chemist.

Fuel cycle analysis (FCA)—or “well-to-wheels analysis”—is a type lifecycle analysis (LCA) that examines fuel products and their supply chains, and that has greatly influenced climate-related research priorities and public policies for transportation fuels. A way forward can be found by casting the problem in a different light.
