COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Dec. 9 (UPI) — Changes in the Earth’s cloud cover will amplify global warming of the planet caused by human activities, a U.S. researcher says.
Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M, says warming due to increases in greenhouse gases will cause clouds to absorb more heat, which will lead to additional warming, a university release said Thursday.
“It’s a vicious cycle — warmer temperatures mean clouds trap more heat, which in turn leads to even more warming,” Dessler says.
