Global warming is changing cloud patterns. That means more global warming

"At any given time, about two-thirds of Earth’s surface is covered by clouds.
Overall, they make the planet much cooler than it would be without them.

But as Earth gets warmer, mostly due to the rise in greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere from humans burning fossil fuels, clouds are changing too. And that
might already be causing more warming – adding to the greenhouse heat boost,
and changing clouds even more.

Over the past few years, the world’s average temperature has increased more
than climate scientists were expecting. In our latest research, led by NASA
Goddard Institute for Space Studies, we show that changes in clouds have made a
significant contribution to turning up the thermostat."
