New paper finds decreased Arctic sea ice causes increased cloudiness

A paper published today in the journal Geophysical Research Letters finds that decrease in sea ice leads to an increase in cloudiness in the Arctic. Clouds increase the reflection of sunlight (albedo) thereby cooling the Earth and acting as a strong  negative feedback to global warming. Although diminshed sea ice decreases albedo, the resulting increase in cloudiness may act as a natural homeostatic mechanism to stabilize Arctic temperatures.
