Clouds Likely Created Positive Climate Feedback In Past DecadeCollege Station TX (SPX) Dec 15, 2010 A Texas A and M scientist's study of 10 years of NASA and other data found that clouds likely responded to carbon dioxide-induced global warming by amplifying that warming. This amplified response is what scientists call a "positive feedback." The uncertainty about the feedback clouds will exhibit to increased greenhouse gases and a warmer climate remains one of the most difficult problems in long-term climate prediction. This new research, to be published Dec. 10 by Andrew Dessler in Scienc ... read more |
