Whether intentionally set to consume agricultural waste or naturally ignited in forests or peatlands, open-burning fires impact the global climate system in two ways which, to some extent, cancel each other out. On one hand, they generate a significant fraction of the world\u2019s carbon dioxide emissions, which drive up the average global surface temperature. On the other hand, they produce atmospheric aerosols, organic carbon, black carbon, and sulfate-bearing particulates that can lower that temperature either directly, by reflecting sunlight skyward, or indirectly, by increasing the reflectivity of clouds. Because wildfire aerosols play a key role in determining the future of the planet\u2019s temperature and precipitation patterns, it\u2019s crucial that today\u2019s climate models \u2014 upon which energy and climate policymaking depend \u2014 accurately represent their impact on the climate system.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-2181616","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nClimate models may be overestimating the cooling effect of wildfire aerosols -
