Cloud feedback refers to the effect that changes in cloud cover and cloud properties have on Earth’s climate system in response to global warming. Clouds play a complex role in regulating the planet’s energy balance because they can both cool and warm the Earth. On one hand, clouds reflect incoming solar radiation back to space, which produces a cooling effect known as the albedo effect. On the other hand, clouds can trap outgoing longwave radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface, contributing to a warming effect similar to the greenhouse effect. When climate change alters cloud formation, altitude, thickness, or distribution, it can modify these cooling and warming influences. For instance, an
