Earth's atmosphere is getting less dusty: That could be adding to global warming
Atmospheric desert dust has long swirled around the globe, but a new UCLA study presents the strongest evidence yet that global dust is mysteriously decreasing. Because atmospheric dust has a slight overall cooling effect on the climate, the researchers say its decrease may have contributed modestly to recent climate warming.
Much less dust particles float in the atmosphere of the earth. Reduced air pollution is good news for health.
Mineral desert dust cools the earth on average slightly, but its amount in the atmosphere decreases. A global evaluation shows a decline of around ten percent for 2003 to 2023. This could eliminate a small part of the natural cooling effect and the recent warming could have been slightly increased. Los Angeles (U.S.A.). Mineral desert dust is one of the most massive natural aerosols of the atmosphere. It scatters and absorbs sunlight, influences…
