Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Ending of the yahoo article.

Speaking to Science.org, Maria Rugenstein, a Colorado State University said that the research shows the climate can respond rapidly, and with unexpected repercussions. She said: “I would take this as a cautionary tale.”

Huh? That interesting. I wonder why she says that.

Ending of the original article on science.org

If the findings hold up, Rugenstein says, they also offer a lesson about the potential consequences of intentionally injecting aerosols high into the atmosphere, a geoengineering strategy some have proposed as a way to cool the planet. The study shows the climate can respond quickly, with unexpected repercussions an ocean away. “I would take this as a cautionary tale,” she says.

Dang, I wonder why the yahoo article takes out this important piece of contextsoviet-hmm

Looks like the article has been edited and the current version is fine, idk what changed or what version you saw. Right now the last 3 paragraphs are

The research could offer a warning about efforts in ‘solar geoengineering’ - plans to deliberately reflect heat back into space using aerosols.

Such approaches - including the idea of spraying aerosols into the air from a fleet of planes - have been debated by academic institutions around the world.

The whole thing is a bit incoherent to me. Like the point of SRM is to increase aerosols to decrease temperatures, and the article is saying that a decrease in aerosols increased temperatures - shouldn't that be taken as evidence in favor of SRM?

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

Rereading a couple times, I think the idea is that these heat waves are hotter than if the aerosols had never been released in the first place.

As less heat was reflected back into space over China, warming of coastal regions in Asia began, resulting in the development of high-pressure systems.

That, in turn, made low-pressure systems in the middle Pacific more intense, resulting in the Aleutian Low growing bigger and moving south which weakened the westerly winds that typically cool the sea surface.

The result was hotter conditions.

The meteorology is over my head but I think this is describing a rebound effect that caused more extreme weather.

I may have skimmed a bit too fastmob-bashful

that makes the whole thing even funnier
