☁️ New study on marine cloud brightening out in @NatureClimate ☁️ Regional marine cloud brightening (MCB) in the North Pacific reduces extreme heat over the Western U.S. under present-day conditions but becomes ineffective under mid-century warming. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Our study provides the first evidence that regional climate interventions that appear promising for climate risk management today may have diminishing returns in a warmer world.

We provide evidence that this loss of efficacy may arise from a state-dependent response of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to both rising greenhouse gas emissions and regional cloud brightening.

However, under mid-century warming, the same MCB interventions minimally reduce or even exacerbate heat stress in the Western U.S. and other parts of the world with notable warming over Europe.

Using climate model simulations, we find remote mid-latitude and proximate subtropics MCB both reduce the relative risk of dangerous heat exposure in the Western U.S. under present-day conditions by 55% and 16%, respectively.

We design two regional MCB schemes in the North Pacific, one in the mid-latitudes and the other in the subtropics, to mitigate extreme heat in the Western U.S., a vulnerable region to heatwaves.

Large-scale solar geoengineering proposals pose substantial governance challenges, making regional interventions potentially more attractive in the near term.

Our new paper about Air Quality Equity in US Climate Policy is out today in @PNASNews! The figure highlights the pervasiveness of national and state-level air pollution disparities. But can climate policy change this pattern? See🧵below or paper here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
