Its a great question, but the warming effect from heat-trapping gases far outweighs the cooling effect from industrial aerosols. Over the last few decades, there has been an observed decrease in total planetary cloud cover , especially over the North Atlantic Ocean off the Northeast US coast.

There is no doubt that we have changed Earth’s climate through our activities on a broad range of aspects that includes consequences for the atmosphere, the oceans, snow, ice, Earth’s fauna and ecosystems. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

As climate scientists we tend to look at the IPCC reports a little differently than the general public might. Here are a few things that mark this report out from previous versions that relate to issues we’ve discussed here before: Extreme events are increasingly connected to climate (duh!) Figure SPM 8.

Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are responsible for weather forecasts and severe storm warnings, information we likely take for granted. Climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe asserts that talking about climate change is the most important thing we can do.

Tiny particles of plastic in the atmosphere can affect Earth’s climate, according to Laura Revell at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and colleagues. Although the threats these microplastics pose to natural ecosystems are now being studied extensively, their influence on Earth’s climate is still virtually unknown.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. Several floating ice shelves – the massive slabs of ice that push back grounded ice from flowing into the ocean – have catastrophically broken up in a matter of days because of such melting.
