Climate change increases the density of clouds in the atmosphere

The phenomenon of clouds is becoming more and more dense in the atmosphere is the clearest evidence of the effects of climate change.

According to the researchers, the frequency of polar clouds is becoming more dense and they often appear at lower latitudes than before. Explaining this phenomenon, scientists believe that the higher the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide-CO ₂ emissions and methane (methane) in the atmosphere are the culprits that cause changes in the cloud.

In the upper atmosphere, the amount of cooled CO ₂ makes it easier to create ice crystals, while methane reacts with oxygen (oxygen) to create suspended water in the air. Clouds (composed of ice crystals that surround dust particles at a height of more than 80km above the Earth's surface) are formed in conditions that are 100,000 times drier than air in the Sahara and bear pressure less than 100,000 times the pressure on the planet's surface. Scientists believe that the whole process means that to form clouds, the temperature must drop to extremely low levels (at least -134 degrees Celsius). The increased amount of CO ₂ causes the temperature to drop, while the increased amount of methane can produce more water vapor and as a result more and more clouds are formed.

American scientists claim that polar clouds are not the factors that cause climate change, but are indicators that humans are affecting the farthest parts of the Earth's atmosphere, causing the atmosphere far away from the Earth has to change, which means we are changing the whole atmosphere.

This is the conclusion of the American scientific community has just been announced at the conference of the American Society of Geophysics in San Francisco, USA.
