...growing weaker, yet its light appears to be dimming. Between 1960 and 1990, some scientists believe, the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface may have declined as much as 10%--and in some places, Hong Kong, for example, more than...
...Veerabhadran Ramanathan, an atmospheric scientist at the University of California at San Diego, then the full impact of the buildup of greenhouse gases has yet to be felt. This week, at the American Geophysical Union meeting in Montreal, Ramanathan and others will be presenting the latest data on the solar-dimming problem and pondering its implications for the climate system as a whole...
...between Sept. 11 and 14, when U.S. air travel was shut down following the terrorist attacks. During that period, the swing between daytime highs and nighttime lows sometimes measured more than twice as much as usual, perhaps owing to a reduction in cirrus clouds that allowed collected solar heat to radiate away. New and larger passenger planes might exacerbate the problem, but it is the frequency of flights that matters most. One way to tackle warming would be to have planes fly roughly 25% lower--altitudes less conducive to cirrus-cloud formation. But there's a catch: gas consumption would...
While some attempts have been made to employ renewable energy at Quincy House, Harvard Business School and the Kennedy School of Government, these solar panels were the only ones on the College’s campus, Rogers said...
Rogers says that Allston holds great possibilities for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power technology. She said that a survey conducted last spring by REP and the Harvard Green Campus Initiative indicated strong student support for clean energy...
