Cloudy weather may dampen the human spirit, but it also may dampen the effects of global warming on the Arctic, according to new study published in the March 14 issue of the journal Science.

Scientists say the post misconstrues the concept of albedo. NASA reports "unequivocal" evidence global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

This differentiates ‘cloud lifetime effects’ from the ‘cloud albedo effect’ 10, for which aerosol perturbations lead to more reflective clouds given a fixed cloud macrostructure.

The scientists scoured NASA satellite data, weather data and climate models and found the decline in low clouds reduced the planet’s albedo to record lows last year.

Prior studies have suggested that offsetting global warming by reflecting sunlight to space would result in a drying of the continents. But recently, a team of Indian and US scientists reported that ...

Which factor wins out depends on the type of cloud and its altitude. High, thin cirrus clouds tend to have more of a warming effect on the planet.

The Albedo Effect, 16 July This morning, the glacier is shimmering. It’s a stunning addition to an already stunning view. But it’s nothing to do with the ice itself.

Find out the concept of Albedo, how earth’s albedo effects the Global Warming, which is very useful for the competitive examinations like UPSC-prelims, SSC, State Services, NDA, CDS, and ...

“Our results suggest that, in contrast to other proposals to increase planetary albedo [a measure of how strongly light is reflected from the sun], offsetting mean global warming by reducing marine ...
