Pesquisadores da Universidade de Columbia identificaram o mecanismo preciso pelo qual o aumento dos níveis de dióxido de carbono resfria a atmosfera superior. A descoberta explica décadas de resfriamento estratosférico observado em meio ao aquecimento da superfície. O estudo foi publicado na revista Nature Geoscience.

A estratosfera, a camada situada entre aproximadamente 11 e 50 quilômetros acima da superfície, resfriou cerca de 2 graus Celsius desde meados da década de 1980. Esse resfriamento excede em mais de dez vezes o valor esperado sem as emissões humanas de dióxido de carbono. O processo foi previsto pela primeira vez na década de 1960 pelo climatologista Syukuro Manabe.

Ancient Antarctic ice reveals modest greenhouse gas changes over 3 million years

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.

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.
