A new modeling study led by NOAA researchers highlights the challenges and potential consequences of solar geoengineering actions large enough to ward off extreme warming by the end of the 21st century. The study simulates the injection of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere to counter carbon dioxide emissions. The study finds that sulfur dioxide injections of up to 50 million metric tons per year would be needed to keep temperatures from rising.

In recent decades, the Northern Hemisphere has featured a “Warm Arctic, Cold Continents” (WACC) pattern: warming and rapid sea ice loss of the Arctic, and frequent cold, harsh winters over Eurasia and central North America. A new study, funded in part by CPO’s Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) program, investigates the drivers of year-to-year variability in the WACC.
