The sky is literally falling. I wonder if this continues, that it would get people to wake up about climate change.

- epscylonb 15y ago"A consistent reduction in cloud height would allow Earth to cool to space more efficiently, reducing the surface temperature of the planet and potentially slowing the effects of global warming." So this would appear to counter act the global warming aspect of climate change.
- draggnar 15y agoBut not the climate change aspect of climate change
- joshuahedlund 15y agoThe article does not really suggest that the variation must be related to climate change, and mainly simply reports an interesting result with the need for more data. I suspect (though open to be corrected) we already know about plenty of weather features that can regularly vary by 1% over ten year periods, climate change or no climate change. (The annual minimum Arctic ice area, by comparison, shrunk by something like one-third in the same time period, although it has stalled the last few years.)
