The role of clouds in climate change

Peter Jacobs talks about one of the more complicated questions in climate science: how will clouds change in a changing climate? This is especially interesting as different types of clouds can have either a cooling or a warming effect, depending on whether they’re more effective at reflecting sunlight or trapping heat from the Earth’s surface.
