Their decline therefore does more than add another feedback\u2014it increases the energy available to amplify other feedbacks, making low-level cloud loss a climate mega-multiplier operating directly through Earth&#8217;s energy budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 0;\">\n    <strong>The most significant emerging climate feedback accelerating the planetary energy imbalance is the decline in low-level clouds.<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/global_warming\/Climate-Amplification-Low-Level-Cloud-Decline.html\">Low-Level Cloud Overview<\/a>\n  <\/p>\n<p>From the album <strong>&#8220;<a href=\"\/albums\/Feedback-Coupling\/\">Feedback Coupling<\/a>&#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Intro] For crying out loud&#8230; (Clouds) [Verse 1] Way up high The clouds may grow But down below They&#8217;re running low [Pre-Chorus] It&#8217;s not just another Feedback in the chain It&#8217;s opening the door For the others to gain [Refrain] Mega-multiplier (You know it&#8217;s getting dire) Oh, no, no, no (Watch the albedo go too [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[163],"class_list":["post-55948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-uncategorized","tag-climate-change"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55948"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55961,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55948\/revisions\/55961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
