The Montreal Protocol may have helped to mitigate climate change by protecting plants from UV damage, thereby avoiding a reduction in carbon storage and an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, reports a modelling study published in @Nature. go.nature.com/3iVbuVh

An accidental #climate treaty; a woolly mammoth that left a 70,000km chemical trail; probiotic coral medicine & where to put a winter’s worth of hydrogen.

The BBC reports on a Lancaster-led study into a global CFC ban. Modelling published by @Nature shows more UV would have harmed plants' ability to soak up carbon, adding to global warming @pjyng @LancsUniLEC @NASA @UK_CEH @UniofExeter @niwa_nz @NCAR_Science bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…
