Clouds will not slow the climate change process. A new study by US scientists has shown that the cooling effect of clouds has been overstated in previous studies.

Scientists have previously thought that clouds can play a role in slowing global warming by reflecting solar rays that bring solar energy back into space. When the temperature rises, the ice crystals in the cloud will turn to liquid, clouds containing water and ice will become brighter. Therefore, clouds reflect sunlight better, and contribute to limiting the accumulation of heat on the surface of the Earth.
However, analyzing cloud observation data over the past seven years by the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the team from Yale University (USA) concluded that clouds contribute only a small part. in the process of slowing the warming of the Earth compared to the previous conception, because in the clouds there is not much ice crystal.
"As the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and temperature rise, the amount of liquefied water in the clouds will increase," said Ivy Tan, a researcher at Yale University who led the study. more. According to the team, it is for this reason that the Earth's temperature may rise faster than expected (up to 25%).
