Has Global Warming Research Misinterpreted Cloud Behavior?

When researchers observe natural changes in clouds and temperature, they have assumed that temperature change caused the clouds to change, and not the other way around.

This can lead to overestimates of how sensitive Earth's climate is to greenhouse gas emissions.
