But by the same token, shouldn't we try to determine with more certainty what is happening and why?
On a side note, what about the theory put forth by MIT professor Richard Lindzen, Arthur Y. Hu, and Ming-Da Chou of NASA that said that the warmer the surface of the ocean was, the less the chance of heat-isolating cirrus clouds. These cirrus clouds are usually high up in the area between the troposphere and the stratosphere and contain ice crystals which reflect light and cause the warming effect. But Lindzen et. al. claim that the warmer surface of the ocean changes the cloud patterns and causes the clouds to produce rain drops rather than form cirrus clouds containing ice crystals.
Can anyone find a link? I only have a link to an article in Swedish here: http://www.nyteknik.se/pub/pub27_3.asp?art_id=1442 1
