It's not just all that smoke from the massive wildfire that's been burning near the Florida-Georgia line for the past two months that has climate scientists worried. In this interview with Georgia Public Broadcasting's Emily Jones, School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Professor Rodney Weber talks about the differences between black carbon vs. brown carbon, and how that latter variant may cause problems by lingering too long in Earth's upper atmosphere.
