Climate Models Really Don’t Know Clouds At All

The first reliable analysis of cloud behavior over past decades suggests—but falls short of proving—that clouds are strongly amplifying global warming. If that’s true, then almost all climate models have got it wrong. On page 460, climate researchers consider the two best, long-term records of cloud behavior over a rectangle of ocean that nearly spans [...]

Boundary Layer Clouds: Another Instance of IPCC Authors Reviewing Their Own Work

As we’ve discussed before (and is well known), clouds are the greatest source of uncertainty in climate sensitivity. Low-level (“boundary layer”) tropical clouds have been shown to be the largest source of inter-model difference among Global Climate Models (GCMs). Clouds have been known to be problematic for GCMs since at least the Charney Report in [...]

New Paper: Cosmic Ray Decreases Affect Atmospheric Aerosols and Clouds

Henrik Svensmark et al have a new GRL paper in press entitled: ‘Cosmic ray decreases affect atmospheric aerosols and clouds’ The Abstract states: Close passages of coronal mass ejections from the sun are signaled at the Earth’s surface by Forbush decreases in cosmic ray counts. We find that low clouds contain less liquid water following [...]

Less Fog Might Explain 20% of Warming in Europe Over Past 30 Years

A new paper has been published in Nature Geoscience entitled, ‘Decline of fog, mist and haze in Europe over the past 30 years’ by Robert Vautard, Pascal Yiou & Geert Jan van Oldenborgh. The Abstract states: Surface solar radiation has undergone decadal variations since the middle of the twentieth century, producing global ‘dimming’ and ‘brightening’ [...]
