Ocean Cloud Decrease Amplified 2023's Record-Breaking Temperatures
A new study in Science attributes the unexpectedly high temperatures of last year partly to a decrease in low-level ocean clouds, which reduced the planet's albedo and amplified warming, potentially creating a dangerous feedback loop.

Low-Lying Clouds Identified as Key Factor in Record-Breaking Temperatures
Last year was the warmest year on record, partly due to the greenhouse effect and El Niño, but scientists have identified a lack of low-lying clouds above the oceans as a significant contributing factor, amplifying warming by increasing solar absorption and reducing reflection.
