Atmospheric heating by black carbon aerosol re-evaluated

R and D: Viewed as a potential target in the global effort to reduce climate change, atmospheric black carbon particles absorb significantly less sunlight than scientists predicted, raising new questions about the impact of black carbon on atmospheric warming, an international team of researchers, including climate chemists from Boston College, report today in the latest edition of the journal Science. Mathematical models and laboratory experiments used to study airborne soot particles led to projections...
