NASA at Your Table: Where Food Meets Methane
While methane concentrations are well observed, emissions have to be inferred based on a variety of factors.
Satellites Reveal How Forests Increase Cloud and Cool Climate
Forests are not only key to moderating our climate by sequestering atmospheric carbon, but they also create a cooling effect by increasing low-level cloud.
Crop Insurance and Unintended Consequences
A new study suggests that crop insurance serves as a disincentive for farmers to adopt climate change mitigation measures on their croplands.
In the New UN Climate Report, a Better Understanding of Solar Geoengineering
The latest report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change offers not only a clearer view of the causes and consequences of global warming, but also a better understanding of some extreme and untested solutions to the climate crisis, including solar geoengineering — the process of modifying clouds or spraying tiny reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to block a portion of the sun’s light, thereby cooling the planet, Reuters reported.
Scientists Take Step to Improve Crops’ Photosynthesis, Yields
Experiments showed that the absence of carbonic anhydrase did not interfere with photosynthesis, contrary to previously held views.
