Earth's clouds are shrinking, boosting global warming

> the team has turned to a single satellite, NASA’s Terra, which has been monitoring the planet for nearly a quarter-century. Looking at the same cloud systems, the team found exactly the same trends, with cloud coverage falling by about 1.5% per decade, Tselioudis says. “It’s only now that the signal seems to be coming out of the noise.” Bjorn Stevens, a climate scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, says a couple percentage points may not sound important. “But if you calculate these trends, it’s massive,” he says. “This would indicate a cloud feedback that’s off the charts.”

Hurricanes and Cyclones will get worse. This is bad news for folks that wish to live near many coasts.

It was always global warming, its just that when it was a cold winter people would say "Oh So iTs GlObAl WaRmInG". Hence climate change, because that covers the other stuff that may or may not happen.

Interesting, the area I live in is expected to get more rain as climate change gets worse. So I would think we would have more cloud cover. But the article is about "reflective clouds".

As I look out my window, I see dark clouds right now as opposed to white fluffy clouds. Will need to note the colors as time goes on for my fully non-scientific surveys :)
