Sentences with phrase «global cloud cover also»

Global cloud cover also increased by 0.5 %.

Not exact matches

Svensmark and others have also argued that recent global warming has been a result of solar activity and reduced cloud cover.

This is also why global warming alarmists try to do their best to quench anything related to the the solar variability → cosmic ray flux → atmospheric ionization → low altitude cloud cover link which by now has ample evidence for support, both empirical and experimental.

The increase in the global average temperature anomaly and the divergence of land and sea surface temperatures also coincided with two significant changes in global average cloud cover.

I say my conclusion was «not unreasonable» because Dr. Scafetta, in a posting at WattsUpWithThat today, has also concluded that, once the natural 60 - year cycles of the great ocean oscillations are accounted for (and it may be these cycles that express themselves in changes in cloud cover such as that which Dr. Pinker had identified), the anthropogenic component in global warming is considerably less than the IPCC imagines.

(The only one I can think of, by the only really solidly qualified contrarian, Lindzen, who also claimed that tobacco wasn't linked to lung cancer, came up with an Iris theory that has been thoroughly repudiated (recent studies have in fact continued to strongly show increased atmospheric moisture), but his theory of a significant enough decrease to keep the earth from significantly warming at the same time this radical shift toward lack of global cloud cover (and far more drought everywhere?)

Water vapour however and increasing cloud cover also increase global temperatures.

This problem is also exacerbated by climate oscillations which operate over long timescales, such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which influences long - term global cloud cover and may interfere with solar - climate analysis studies (Kuang et al. 1998; Farrar 2000; Roy & Haigh 2010; Laken et al. 2012a).

You could also respond to Chief's link where it states global dimming and brightening are determined by cloud cover.

Palle et al (cited elsewhere here) have shown that the total albedo has decreased over the period 1985 - 2000, while cloud cover also decreased (resulting in global warming), and has reversed itself since then, with increased cloud cover.
