Clouds in sentence

So, low clouds are powerful sunshades, making the planet cooler.

But that's not the only effect of clouds.

Once again, clouds are blocking the view.

That's because high clouds live in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, where it's very cold.

The earth is trying to cool itself off, and high clouds are getting in the way.

So, clouds play this very large and dual role in the climate system.

We've got low clouds that act like a sunshade, cooling the planet, and high clouds which act like a greenhouse, warming the planet.

So if we got rid of all the clouds tomorrow, which, for the record, I am not advocating, our planet would get warmer.

So clearly, all of the clouds are not going away.

So we can ask: How will global warming change clouds?

But remember, clouds are so important in regulating the earth's temperature, and they both warm and cool the planet.

So we might also ask: How will clouds change global warming?

If global warming triggers cloud changes that make for a less powerful greenhouse or a more effective sunshade, then that would enhance the cooling power of clouds.

And you might think that we could also see it in the clouds.

But here's something else unfortunate: clouds are really hard to see.

But in order to do climate science, we need to see all of the clouds, everywhere, for a very long time.

And fortunately, we do have satellite observations of clouds that, like me, date back to the 1980s.

When we looked at the observations, one thing jumped out at us: the clouds are moving.

As the planet's temperature increases, high clouds rise up.

They move to the colder upper reaches of the atmosphere, and this means that even as the planet heats up, high clouds don't.

High clouds are making global warming worse.

The atmospheric circulation, that large-scale motion of air and water in the atmosphere, is changing, and clouds are going with it.

On large scales, clouds seem to be moving from the tropics toward the poles.

There is no observational evidence that clouds will substantially slow down global warming.

I want them to be prepared for what they'll face, and that is why it is so important to keep our earth-observing satellites up there and to hire diverse and smart and talented people who do not hate clouds to improve the climate models.

I don't think that clouds will save the planet.

There are planets and toasts and volcanoes and clouds and clarinets and bubbles and dolphins and all sorts of things that make up our everyday life.

And when it's covered in a thin layer of water, it reflects the clouds.

There are days when you feel as if you're floating among the clouds.

It was like I was floating in the universe among clouds of galaxies.
