This is due to the continual decrease in the costs of on-line bandwidth, improvements in content compression, the proliferation of mobile viewing devices with smaller screens (and thus lower resolution requirements) as well as increased levels of cloud storage to support download and streaming markets.
Svensmark then teamed up with Friis-Christensen to review solar activity, cloud cover and cosmic ray levels recorded using satellite data available since 1979.
Less ice on rivers, lakes and the sea will lead to more evaporation, probably increasing cloud cover at mid-levels, which should have a cooling effect.
