SCIENTISTS say the world’s climate is warming faster than had been feared because previous predictions were too “optimistic” and overestimated the cooling impact of clouds. As the planet marked its fourth-hottest year on record, an Australian-led study published in the journal ‘Nature’ found that increasing levels of carbon dioxide would lead to thinner ocean clouds.

This, it found, would reduce the cooling impact of the clouds, causing temperature rises of at least 5.6 degrees fahrenheit (3 degrees centigrade) over the course of the century.
