Ilmuwan menjelaskan bagaimana karbon dioksida mendinginkan stratosfer

Para peneliti di Columbia University telah mengidentifikasi mekanisme tepat mengenai bagaimana peningkatan kadar karbon dioksida mendinginkan atmosfer bagian atas. Temuan ini menjelaskan pendinginan stratosfer yang telah diamati selama beberapa dekade di tengah pemanasan permukaan bumi. Studi mereka diterbitkan dalam jurnal Nature Geoscience.

Stratosfer, lapisan yang berada di antara sekitar 11 hingga 50 kilometer di atas permukaan bumi, telah mendingin sekitar 2 derajat Celcius sejak pertengahan 1980-an. Pendinginan ini melebihi sepuluh kali lipat dari jumlah yang diperkirakan jika tanpa adanya emisi karbon dioksida oleh manusia. Proses ini pertama kali diprediksi pada tahun 1960-an oleh pakar klimatologi Syukuro Manabe.

Scientists analyzing ancient ice from Antarctica have found that ocean temperatures dropped by 2 to 2.5 degrees Celsius over the past 3 million years, while carbon dioxide and methane levels changed only modestly. The studies, led by researchers from Oregon State University and others, suggest factors beyond greenhouse gases drove much of Earth's long-term cooling. The findings come from ice cores at Allan Hills in East Antarctica.

Emissions of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds have contributed significantly to planetary warming, according to new research. These indirect greenhouse gases account for about 15 percent of the temperature rise since pre-industrial times. Few nations currently address them in climate plans.

A major Atlantic Ocean current system that regulates global climate has been slowing down for nearly 20 years. New research provides direct evidence of the decline across a wide area of the North Atlantic.

Researchers have demonstrated in laboratory experiments that hydrogen can be produced from iron-rich rocks while simultaneously locking away carbon dioxide. The work, presented at a recent geoscience meeting, aims to combine clean energy generation with climate mitigation. Field trials are now being planned to test the approach at scale.
