Carbon dioxide is not only a greenhouse gas but also a cooling agent. A new study shows that carbon dioxide can lower the temperature of the Earth’s upper atmosphere by radiating heat into space. This means that carbon dioxide can have complex and contradictory effects on the climate system, depending on the altitude.
