Scientists treating Earth as a feverish patient are giving it the equivalent of a CAT scan, targeting short-life pollutants that spur climate change to try to find a remedy that dials back the heat.

The aircraft — a modified white DC-8 with protruding tubes instead of windows — swooped over Boulder this week.
