Obviously, the only cause of this must be Mankind’s carbon pollution output. And it’s totally ominous
Global Cloud Coverage Shifting in Ominous Sign of Climate Change
When politicians talk of climate “uncertainty,†they’re often casting doubt on things that are well understood: Warming is happening, and humans are responsible.
When scientists talk about climate uncertainty, they’re usually talking about the clouds.
Actually, they’re usually talking about computer models. And doom
Some of that uncertainty was lifted Monday, and the news isn’t good. A new study inNature analyzes almost 30 years of weather observations to show that clouds and cloudiness are changing in the way scientists would expect in a warming world. Continental storm tracks—think jet stream—are shifting poleward, leaving populous subtropical latitudes uncovered. And the clouds that are forming more often aren’t the low-lying, reflective ones that cool the planet—they’re the huge cottony anvils that rise high in the sky, trapping more heat.
“Cloud changes most consistently predicted by global climate models are currently occurring in nature,” the authors write. “As cloud tops rise, their greenhouse effect becomes stronger.”
Yeah, it’s rather easy to say “we looked back, and our models totally agree with what happened.” Of course, none of this proves anthropogenic causation, that the changes are mostly or solely caused by Mankind.
The corrected data should help improve their confidence in cloud studies..
In other words, changed to match the preconception. Not. Science. Cult.
