New research using NASA data reveals that Earth's Northern Hemisphere is now absorbing more sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere, breaking a long-standing balance due to factors like melting ice, reduced pollution, and increased water vapor, which could impact future climate patterns.
Satellite data over 24 years reveal the Northern Hemisphere is gradually absorbing more solar energy due to reduced reflectivity from melting ice, decreased aerosols, and cloud changes, disrupting Earth's energy balance and potentially accelerating regional and global warming. This hemispheric asymmetry challenges existing climate models and underscores the need for refined predictions and policies.
