We can debate the reasons for less cloud cover, but generally speaking less cloud/more sunshine leads to higher temperatures.
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I got to thinking about the clouds again. They’re easily the least understood part of the climate. So let me start with what we do…
The inability to see total eclipses is one of the lesser-known impacts of global warming, but it is areal loss for astronomers and the rest of us.
All life on Earth (somehow) originates from the Sun's heat. But how much of the solar irradiation reaches us Earthlings?
This Model was created to encourage scientist to collect the information necessary to determine the Earth’s ET change over time, the area of “special parcels” and plume size. This Model shows that this data is necessary...
Trees, Clouds, and the Unsettling Truth about Climate Science In a recent revelation from the international CLOUD project at the nuclear research center CERN, researchers have identified sesquiterpenes—gaseous hydrocarbons...
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, I decided to take a shot at publishing my views on the cloud feedback response to increases in surface warming. I wrote it up…
…models are pushing further and further into the domain of the ‘terra incognita.
Statistical uncertainty in the CERES and Cloud data seem to retard acceptance of alternative GW theories.
IPCC forecasters overstate warming because they still somehow really don’t understand clouds at all.
For years, the brightness symmetry between hemispheres remained a mystery.
By Jo Nova The science is settled except we only just realized that the benzene and toluene gas over the vast Southern Ocean were not man-made pollutants after all, but were made by industrious phytoplankton...
Whether clouds have a cooling or warming effect depends on how high they are. With a maximum altitude of two to three kilometers, the trade-wind clouds examined here are comparatively low, reflect sunlight, and cool the atmosphere...
The modelers of the 1990’s where on the right track – if clouds change the results would be as strong as the that expected from CO2. The IPCC should evaluate CRGW theory.
The diurnal temperature range has a significant effect on growing seasons, crop yields, residential energy consumption and human health issues related to heat stress.
