An interdisciplinary team affiliated with a host of institutions across China, working with one colleague from Singapore and another from MIT, has found evidence suggesting that if solar panels could be installed on every rooftop in the world, replacing traditional power sources, the result could be a reduction in global surface temperatures by as much as 0.13° C.
