Astronomical observations from ground-based telescopes are sensitive to local atmospheric conditions. Anthropogenic climate change will negatively affect some of these conditions at observation sites around the globe. A team of researchers led by the University of Bern and the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Planets shows in a …
