Caption

Research led by a team at Princeton University shows that wind speeds in northern mid-latitude regions have increased by roughly 7% since 2010, marking a reversal of the pattern of declining winds in these regions since the 1980s. The photo shows wind turbines in Ningbo, an area on China's Pacific coast south of Shanghai.
