  • Clouds may be the reason why climate change reduces the daily temperature difference

    Clouds may be the reason why climate change reduces the daily temperature difference

    Scientists involved in a recent international study looking at DTR in the late 2000s believe they have found a solution: an increase in clouds that block incoming shortwave radiation from the sun during the day. This means that while both the highest and lowest daily temperatures are projected to continue to rise due to climate…
