"Earth’s Dimming: A Troubling Shift in Our Planet's Radiant Energy"

A new study reveals that Earth is getting darker as the radiation budget between the northern and southern hemisphere widens, impacting Clouds and the Earths Radiant Energy System.

• The research indicates that the widening gap in Earths radiation budget is primarily due to changes in water vapor and decreased albedo, leading to fewer clouds.
• Data from satellite observations highlight that the Southern Hemisphere is experiencing more significant dimming compared to the Northern Hemisphere, affecting global climate patterns.
• NASAs findings emphasize that reduced cloud cover directly impacts solar irradiance, further complicating Earths energy budget and posing potential risks for the environment.
