It seems there is no silver lining in clouds as a moderating influence for a warming climate. In fact, indications are the
latest research reduces some uncertainty in a crucial area, which means that climate sensitivity will be towards the higher end of the range at about 3 to 5 degrees Celsius for a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Professor Steve Sherwood explains the importance of this research for climate sensitivity.
