Researchers find clouds contain more liquid - as opposed to ice - than was previously believed, threatening greater increase in temperatures
Climate change projections have vastly underestimated the role that clouds play, meaning future warming could be far worse than is currently projected, according to new research.
Researchers said that a doubling of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere compared with pre-industrial times could result in a global temperature increase of up to 5.3C - far warmer than the 4.6C older models predict.
