'Elegant and important' paper warns of worse to come

A new paper described as “elegant and important” warns that the world is bound for temperature increases at the high end of past global warming estimates.

Penn State University climate scientist, Michael Mann, who wrote the book, “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines” praised the new report.

In its story headed: “Climate: Cloud mixing means extra global warming”, National Geographic explains that global warming will mix growing amounts of higher, drier air with ocean clouds over the course of the century, thinning out the clouds and reducing their cooling effect.
