low cloud cover may cause a net cooling in the atmosphere because of an increased albedo
'''Cloud cover''' is a sorely neglected factor in debates over [[global warming]].

[[Cosmic rays]] from space influence the Earth’s climate by affecting cloud formation in the lower atmosphere. [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,220341,00.html]
