Using advanced computer simulations, scientists have shown how easily a runaway greenhouse effect can turn a habitable planet into a hellish world uninhabitable. “Not only does this research have implications for our understanding of extrasolar planets,”outer planets,” but also provides insight into the human-caused climate crisis on Earth. The team, consisting of astronomers from the… Read More »
