The average global cloud height is linked to the average global temperature generally, the higher the average cloud height, the higher the average surface temperature, and vice versa.

FORBES: An Unsettling Week For Global Warming's 'Settled Science'

Temperature, rain, cloud cover, barometric pressure, wind speed and humidity had no affect.

As the cloud approached the floor, its temperature rose, in some areas, to more than eleven hundred degrees Fahrenheit.

NEWYORKER: Trial by Fire

One major unsettled issue in climate science indeed is what this sensitivity is, and several threads of information, including the surface temperature history, and water vapor and cloud data argue Lindzen may be correct.

FORBES: What Happens When You Rub Two Climatologists Together?

Many students of climate change argue that, although the artificial release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide works to raise the global temperature, particulate pollution should, by promoting cloud cover and thus reflecting solar energy back into space, have a compensating cooling effect.
