Ever Hear the One About the Feedback Loop?

http://climaterealists.com/index.php?id=3731



Given that the earth's temperature has risen and fallen many times, even in just the short amount of time during which humans have inhabited it, one could assume that temperature feedback loops must exist (one must also assume that we are lucky that the sun, during our short time in it's glow, has remained relatively stable). This paper discusses one of those - clouds. Short version - as heat rises and ice melts, cloud formations increase, and clouds are more effective in blocking the sun's heat than ice is at reflecting it.
