The group is asking grid operators and utilities to share information about data center effects to inform future federal rules on the topic.
Most microplastics and nanoplastics are smaller than a single bacteria cell.
They come from plastic garbage and are all different colors as a result.
A new study conducted by scientists in the US, China, and Italy looked at plastic bits that are dark in color.
Darker colors absorb more heat.
They found that dark-colored plastic particles in the atmosphere may be contributing to global warming by trapping extra heat from the sun.
However, the warming effect from plastics appears to be relatively small compared to other heat-absorbing particles like soot.
The study was published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Researchers compared AI weather models to other forecasting models that use physics.
The authors found that AI was not as accurate when it came to very hot weather.
very cold weather, and wind storms.
Previous studies and real-world tests have found that some AI models are extremely good at predicting normal, everyday weather.
But the new study finds that doesn't extend to extreme weather events.
Researchers compared AI weather models to other forecasting models that use physics to see which was better at predicting extreme weather events.
The authors, who are climate scientists in Germany and Switzerland, found that AI was not as accurate when it came to very hot weather, very cold weather, and wind storms.
The study was published in the journal Science Advances.
