Atmospheric aerosols can exert effects on climate, environment and health. However, due to the lack of comprehensive understanding of the interaction mechanism between the aerosol and cloud, there exists deep uncertainty in the estimation of climatic and environmental effects caused by the anthropogenic aerosol. The online coupled aerosol climate model is an important tool to
By Daniel Strain Step into your new, microscopic time machine. Scientists at CU Boulder have discovered that a type of single-celled organism living in modern-day oceans may have a lot in common with life forms that existed billions of years ago—and that fundamentally transformed Earth. The new research, which will appear Jan. 6 in the journal Science Advances,
By Kathleen O’Sullivan A new report published by Sinn Féin lays bare the experiences of Irish people with energy poverty, with some respondents expressing feelings of “fear” over bills, along with others being “terrified” of carbon tax.
