Clouds around the world may be falling in response to rising global temperatures and having a cooling effect on global warming, according to analysis of satellite data by Auckland University scientists.
The first 10 years of data from the NASA Terra satellite, which uses nine cameras at different angles to produce a stereo image of the world's clouds, shows their average height has lowered by about 1 per cent, or 30 to 40 metres.
Most of the reduction was due to fewer clouds occurring at very high altitudes, says the study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
I wonder when we will see the Polar Region Ice Caps begin to regain mass?
I wonder when higher elevation and higher latitude glaciers will start speeding up?
This is going to be an interesting solar sunspot minimum.

I meant to add, it looks again like “the Cart is before the Horse.”
I saw the title and was wondering how that was going to be done.
I was trying to figure out how to promote my idea for raising the earth.
What global warming?
jogging weights?
i was just thinking...now WTF...how is this or will this be spun for the one to be the one again in nov...not whether or not it is even true...cause truth doesn’t seem to matter any longer!
All I can say to the Aussie’s is:

Correction: Kiwi’s
It’s pretty well known that Lib Idiots are not very bright, and their leaders are all corrupt.
So what do these corrupt leaders tell their idiots?
They make up ridiculous assertions that the Earth is not capable of sustaining itself without the help of all humans, who by the way made this mess here on Earth in the first place, according to the corrupt leaders and their stupid followers.
So when the Sun goes through its normal cycle of sun spots (which, by the way, add warmth to the Earth) the Lib Idiots all fall in line with their leader’s wishes. These idiots have learned to fall in line because they all live on the small numbers side of The Bell Curve.
It appears that it’s never about Truth for the left. Their Big Government agenda is to be promoted with all possible manner of lies and deception. When they’re caught in another lie it doesn’t deter them in the least. I don’t foresee that ever changing.
Hmm. Sounds like another aspect of a perfectly balanced system.
“The first 10 years of data from the NASA Terra satellite, which uses nine cameras at different angles to produce a stereo image of the world’s clouds”
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions i recall.
I really don’t know clouds at all.
Lowering clouds to combat global warming
What global warming?
The Earth is just doing it’s thing and they have no idea what it’s thing is
Wow, nine cameras! Sounds more like 8.1 Surround images, rather than plain old "stereo".
Sci-fi and leftist public ed has ruined the sciences. Thanks Ernest.
