A new climate intervention strategy aims to decrease the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere by injecting it with ice-forming nuclei. The idea is that, by reducing the water content, more heat in the form of infrared radiation would leak out into space. Scientists described the strategy a study published Wednesday in Science Advances….

How an experimental Minnesota forest is helping predict what could happen in different climate change scenarios – CBS News
In Northern Minnesota, scientists work at the Marcell Experimental Forest. David Weston, a senior scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with more than 100 other researchers, comes to the forest to study how different degrees of global warming might impact the world’s northern forests. “It’s giving us some idea of how far we can…
