Question
Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann shared the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on modeling this phenomenon. For 10 points each:
[10e] Identify this phenomenon caused by the increase of greenhouse gas partly due to fossil fuel use. Evidence for the occurrence of this phenomenon includes rising sea levels due to the melting of arctic ice.
ANSWER: anthropogenic climate change [or global warming]
[10m] Manabe predicted that climate change causes the cooling of this layer in a 1967 model of the atmosphere. One proposed method of combating climate change is by injecting aerosol into this layer to increase Earth’s albedo.
ANSWER: stratosphere [or stratospheric cooling]
[10h] Besides stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening is another of these methods, which attempt to mitigate climate change by reflecting sunlight back into space.
ANSWER: solar geoengineering [or solar radiation modification]
