[28] [42] Lockwood and Fröhlich, 2007, found "considerable evidence for solar influence on the Earth's pre-industrial climate and the Sun may well have been a factor in post-industrial climate change in the first half of the last century", but that "over the past 20 years, all the trends in the Sun that could have had an influence on the Earth ...
Seasonal change in the angle of sunlight, caused by the tilt of Earth's axis, is the basic mechanism that results in warmer weather in summer than in winter. [1] [2] [3] Change in day length is another factor (albeit lesser). [2] [3]
Solar radiation modification (SRM) (or solar radiation management or sunlight reflection methods [1] or solar geoengineering), is a group of large-scale approaches to limit global warming by increasing the amount of sunlight (solar radiation) that is reflected away from Earth and back to space.
Late last month the White House released a report cautiously calling for more research into one of the most hotly debated theories for combating climate change: partially blocking the sun to cool ...
Milankovitch emphasized the changes experienced at 65° north due to the great amount of land at that latitude. Land masses change surface temperature more quickly than oceans, mainly because convective mixing between shallow and deeper waters keeps the ocean surface relatively cooler.
A sunshade could potentially be one climate engineering method for mitigating global warming through solar radiation management, because internationally negotiated reductions in carbon emissions may be insufficient to stem climate change. [5] [6] Sunshades could also be used to produce space solar power, acting as solar power satellites ...
As climate change makes warm places hotter and cold places more livable, more Americans are staying put in the North, while others are leaving the South. In coming decades, net migration might ...
Soon is an anthropogenic climate change denier, [4] [6] disputing the scientific understanding of climate change, and contends that most global warming is caused by solar variation rather than by human activity. [7] [8] He co-wrote a paper whose methodology was widely criticised by the scientific community. [9]
