As more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, its potency as a greenhouse gas intensifies, potentially exacerbating global warming, said a recent study by a team of scientists from the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.

In a groundbreaking revelation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists have uncovered an unexpected presence of metal-infused particles in the stratosphere, well over seven miles above Earth's surface. These particles, containing various metals from satellites and spent rocket boosters, have been vaporized by the intense heat generated during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

Global atmospheric dust (microscopic airborne particles from desert dust storms) cools the planet with hiding the full amount of warming caused by...
