...question now is whether this process will continue in the future, as the world keeps warming. Scientists create climate models to try to predict how the earth will respond to higher levels of greenhouse-gas emissions, but only one model - created by the Hadley Centre in Britain - includes the possible impact of changing cloud behavior. And the bad news is that the Hadley model contains particularly high temperature increases for the 21st century, in part because it sees dissipating cloud cover as a positive-feedback cycle - meaning the warmer it gets, the less cloud cover there will be, which will...

But it would not be cataclysmic, either - unless Obama decided to pre-empt it militarily. In any case, the question is, Does the President really want to paint himself into this corner?
