Kidding, surely...

Clouds around the world may be falling in response to rising global temperatures and having a cooling effect on global warming, according to analysis of satellite data by Auckland University scientists. (Via Bolta)

These guys have been around sheep too long I think. University scientists?

A cooling effect on global warming? Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous? This crowd ought to spend a bit more time outside and in the environment, instead of hiding around climate models, trying to keep warm and out of the rain and snow. Especially when coming from the land of the ‘long white cloud’.
