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.
