Global warming may lead to changes in the Earth's cloud cover, which itself may amplify climatic disruption, according to a new study.

Clouds have a significant influence on climate, and vice versa. As the Earth's global temperature increases, the number, density and altitude of cumulus, cirrus, nimbus and other clouds should change.
