More clouds both drastically reduce energy input from the sun and simply slow release of what energy there is trapped in the lower troposphere, but the long term effect would be a fall in average temperature because of the significantly reduced input power but the atmosphere's ability to cool is aided by air current circulation whereby the warmer air rises above those low clouds and that infra - red is more easily re-emitted into space, whereby the low clouds now block that re-emission from hitting the ground again to any significant degree.

Piers Forster, director of the Priestley International Centre for Climate at the University of Leeds, said the study «confirms that we will see significantly more warming and impacts this century if we don't increase our ambition to reduce CO2 emissions; but the possibility of 6 degrees or more warming with associated devastating impacts can perhaps begin to be ruled out».

Whereas most proxy - based reconstructions point to an early - middle LIG climatic optimum with reduced summer sea ice concentrations between 126 and 116 ka, the results of our model simulations only support a pronounced reduction in summer sea ice concentration for the LIG - 125 and LIG - 130 runs (in both time slice as well as transient runs; Figs. 8 and 9), but also indicate that sea ice was still present in the central Arctic Ocean even under climatic conditions significantly warmer than today (Fig. 4).

When this is corrected, and the warming retreats and becomes ever more localised, this not only destroys / significantly reduces the level of plausibility, it's an obvious «dig here» for further clarification on why it appears to be localised — whether that's looking carefully at the quality of the underlying data — as opposed to it's analysis — or looking at localised physical phenomena.
