Clouds won't slow climate change: NASA survey finds their cooling effects have been overstated

Salon: To some, clouds resemble bunnies. To others, they can look like squished flowers. When scientists used NASA data to peer into clouds, what they saw resembled a hazard sign warning of a fast-deteriorating climate ahead. Analysis of the first seven years of data from a NASA cloud-monitoring mission suggests clouds are doing less to slow the warming of the planet than previously thought, and that temperatures may rise faster than expected as greenhouse gas pollution worsens--perhaps 25 percent faster....

Clouds May Be Contributing to Rising Temperatures and Climate Change

Wingate: Studying the make-up of mixed-phase clouds, they found that clouds today actually hold more liquid, instead of ice. So as the planet warms, these clouds have less ice available to turn to water, which is a problem, because water is good at reflecting sunlight away from earth, and we were kind of banking on this whole ice-to-water transition as a natural way to slow warming. "According to the study published Thursday in the journal Science, computer model simulations say there is more ice and less...

Global warming: Clouds may be less helpful than we thought

Science Monitor: As global surface temperatures continue to rise as a result of human industrial activity, climate models may be overestimating the ability of clouds to curb climate change, new research has found. The study, published Friday in the journal Science, used newly available satellite technology to analyze clouds and determine the proportion of ice versus liquid water. This ratio has important implications for climate modeling, as it impacts the amount of solar radiation being thrown back into space....
Study helps narrow down one reason why clouds are hard to model

PhysOrg: Airborne particles known as "aerosols" strongly impact the way clouds form and change, but accurately capturing this effect in computer climate models has proved to be notoriously difficult. A new study in the Proceedings on the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition online Feb. 26 suggests why-either the models are failing to capture in sufficient detail the processes at work in clouds, or aerosols are now so pervasive in the atmosphere thanks to modern-day pollution that their specific effects...
Nigeria clouds solid FY for Coca-Cola HBC - Analysis
2016-02-22 14:19:00| Daily beverage news and comment - from just-drinks.com
It has been a difficult few years for Coca-Cola HBC, but analysts suggest that the soft drinks maker got back on track in 2015, despite concerns over Nigeria.
