Cloud Height Fell Over Last Decade, Nasa Study Reports

Actually were the lowing of clouds to continue at this pace in 100 years time we would start to see another ice age. As lower clouds will cool the temperatures and winters and winter like storms become more severe and last longer. Spring and Summer rains also will hang around much more so creating lots of flooding and summer heat in sun belt area's will with humidity create intense heat waves. The last 11 years has indeed seen many of these conditions already. Moscow with a summer heat wave was previously unheard of.

The more that the northern and southern poles ice breaks off and melts into the ocean disturbs the current traffic and weather patterns change as a result. After all its the ice that is melting and fresh water that turns into gas, then rain and snow in other area's not previously seeing the amount before. Lowering clouds mean heavier density. More foul weather play.

These clouds pack a punch and can go across whole continents before they are finished unloading their burdons. Or worse stall over an area and continue to inflict heavy damage. Heat at the surface and 2000 feet up expand air molecules allowing them to saturate heavier amounts of water vapor keeping the cloud level low while growing in weight. We could be seeing storms that last for weeks rather then days. Punishing area's prone to extreme flooding, heat, snow. and other issues.

In the worst case scenario total ionization of the atmosphere with low cloud levels results in the sun being blocked out and with that comes crop failure and saturation of humidity in the 90% to 99% zone which after a month of such most of us would have serious watered down lungs and sufficate, drastic cooling, extreme glacial storms and render much of the planet into an ice age once again. Because after all a nice thick blanket of clouds blocking off the sun would really chill us out. But the heat trapping above that cloud layer would create a ceiling forbidding those cooler temperature moisture to circulate and thus trap it in place. So Global warming isn't the same as climate heating up. It is just the opposit.

By saying worst case I don't mean that in terms for life on earth mostly marine life that is and a few hardy terrestrial life.. but human life and those in our biosphere we share it with would have a hard going. It won't be uniform either. While some area's freeze solid others would become rain forests once again and still others vastly a desert. These are natural occurances on this planet but we haven't been around since the decline of the last ice age and if we were there is little evidence many survived it save those in the tropic zone that like Peru dug tunnels in the mountains themselves and lived there till the ice melted.

Nothing keeps the parasites like humans in check then a swift change in climate. Whole kingdoms have been completely obliterated because a rain forest gradually dried up and became a desert. Or a nice stretch of tundra became a sheet of ice. Nature does recet itself. Likely what brought on the last ice age was the fact that earth was still busy making alot of land and spewing up huge amounts of noxious gas and earth into the atmosphere.

Earth got hot and bothered making landmasses.. and decided it was time to cool things off by trapping those gasses in the ionosphere with carbon from vulcano's she thickened up the cloud banks a few meters a decade till they were primed and ready to cover up the sun and chill all her hot massive peices of fresh continents and cover them with ice for a few thousand years. Wash , rince and dry and repeat. The question is not for us to say Global warming exist but at what pace does it take to get from Wash , to rince, to dry and repeat. And how do we as sentient life on this planet that seems to think about the importance of our being here tomorrow live while Earth does its laundry.
