Quantifying Empirical Climate Sensitivity: Allocating Partial CO2 Doublings for a Deeper Understanding of Earth’s Changing Climate
Climate & Climate ZonesDecoding Climate Change: Why Every Puff of CO2 Matters Okay, let’s talk climate change. It’s a colossal problem, no doubt, and a lot of it boils down to what happens when we pump more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. You’ve probably heard about “climate sensitivity,” but what does it really mean? Simply put, it’s

Measuring the Certainty: Quantifying Human-Caused Global Heating in Earth Science
Climate & Climate ZonesMeasuring the Certainty: Quantifying Human-Caused Global Heating in Earth Science (Humanized Version) Okay, so the climate change debate? It’s pretty much settled. We’ve moved past arguing if it’s happening, and now we’re laser-focused on figuring out exactly how much of it is our fault. And guess what? Earth science has made some seriously impressive leaps

Unveiling the Climate Equation: Applying CO2 Sensitivity to Today’s CO2 Levels
Climate & Climate ZonesCracking the Climate Code: What CO2 Sensitivity Means for Us Today Okay, let’s talk climate change. We hear a lot about it, but sometimes the key concepts get lost in the jargon. One of those concepts is “climate sensitivity.” Simply put, it’s about figuring out just how much hotter our planet will get as we

Assessing CO2 Levels in Inner Cities: Incorporating Carbon Dioxide into the Air Quality Index
Climate & Climate ZonesIs It Time to Add CO2 to Our Air Quality Scorecard? We all know the Air Quality Index, right? It’s that handy guide that tells us whether it’s safe to breathe outside, based on things like smog and soot. For years, it’s focused on the usual suspects: those nasty particles (PM2.5 and PM10), ground-level ozone,

Diminishing Minds: The Alarming Impact of High CO₂ Levels on Cognitive Ability
Climate & Climate ZonesDiminishing Minds: The Alarming Impact of High CO₂ Levels on Cognitive Ability (Humanized Version) We all know carbon dioxide (CO₂) as the bad guy in the climate change story. But what if I told you it’s also messing with your brain, right here, right now? It turns out, those rising CO₂ levels aren’t just heating

Why is wind shear consistently high in the South Atlantic?
Climate & Climate ZonesThe South Atlantic: Why Hurricanes Are Almost Unheard Of Ever wondered why you almost never hear about hurricanes battering Brazil or South Africa? The South Atlantic Ocean is a bit of an oddball when it comes to tropical cyclones. Unlike the North Atlantic, where hurricane season is a yearly event, the South Atlantic is practically
