(Phys.org)—A trio of researchers affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and Princeton University has created a computer simulation that shows that a large increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide can cause a loss of planetary water as easily as an increase in solar radiation. The team has published the details of their model and what it showed in Nature Communications.
