Numerous studies and research have revealed various impacts of climate change on humans and animals. But how will the warming temperatures impact clouds? Michael Pritchard, who is a professor of Earth System Science at UC Irvine, said as quoted by ScienceDaily: "Low clouds could dry up and shrink like the ice sheets. Or they could thicken and become more reflective."&nbsp;

In both scenarios, different future climates can be predicted which is basically part of the problem. "If you ask two different climate models what the future will be like when we add a lot more CO2, you get two very different answers. And the key reason for this is the way clouds are included in climate models," he added.&nbsp;

In the latest report, experts used new computational approaches that help researchers to include cloud physics in global models to probe and find answers to long-standing questions.&nbsp;

Clouds are a crucial part of the atmosphere, they can affect climate. First, they are an essential part of the water cycle. Clouds provide an important link between rain and snow, oceans and lakes, and plants and animals.&nbsp;

They also help us keep the Earth’s temperature down by cooling down and warming up the temperatures on Earth. Clouds can block light and heat from the Sun.&nbsp;

The study noted that the new research on the Frontera supercomputer seeks to better incorporate clouds into global models.&nbsp;

It will apparently be done by breaking models into two parts: a coarse-grained, lower-resolution (100km) planetary model and many small patches with 100 to 200-meter resolution.&nbsp;

These simulations can capture the physical processes and turbulent eddies involved in cloud formation and do not produce unwanted side effects.&nbsp;

A future without clouds? How climate change will affect clouds

From humans to animals, from birds to small insects, the world is witnessing the negative impact of climate change. An increase in temperatures is changing the ecosystem.

From humans to animals, from birds to small insects, the world is witnessing the negative impact of climate change. An increase in temperatures is changing the ecosystem. Animal and plant habitats are being destroyed due to heavier rainy seasons, extended droughts or unpredictable snowfall in regions that aren't used to such changes. However, a new study found that warming temperatures may, in fact, benefit one species, which is rattlesnakes. A study led by the University of Michigan has found that rattlesnakes prefer higher temperatures since they are cold-blooded animals. Subsequently, a warming climate means they spend more time in the wilderness and less time hibernating, a new study published earlier this month in the journal Ecology and Evolution suggests.

Pacific rattlesnakes can be found in desert regions like Southern California. They can also be located in colder climates like Washington state. Hayley Crowell, who is a doctoral student at the University of Michigan, told US TODAY: "They're existing in temperatures cooler than what they would want to be at in a perfect world. If there's a couple degree increase in climate, these snakes, from a physiology standpoint, might be happier because it's closer to their preferred body temperature." Crowell, who is the lead author of the study, said that the observation indicates that for rattlesnakes, the hibernation ends earlier in the spring if temperatures continue to rise. "Basically just more time to grow and do rattlesnake things," she said. ALSO READ | Scientists detect new type of extremely reactive substance in the Earth's atmosphere They might gain benefits from the warming of temperatures, but rattlesnakes will face negative impacts also because of low availability of prey and water, and increased risk of exposure to wildfires. However, rattlesnakes have lower metabolisms than other animals, Crowell explained that they do not need a lot of food to survive. "They just do not need a lot of food at all to survive. A rattlesnake can totally survive just on one or two big ground squirrels a year if it needed to," she said. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

One species may benefit from climate change: Study

Climate change is leading to significant environmental changes, such as hotter temperatures, melting of glaciers, etc., leading to subsequent changes in our way of living.&nbsp;

In the latest study, it has been revealed that climate change will lead to sleep deprivation among humans as researchers have attempted to predict future effects on our sleep.&nbsp;

For the study, researchers analysed the data they gathered from sleep trackers which are worn by the people and they also studied the global weather.&nbsp;

On one side experts are burning the midnight oil to find ways to tackle the severe impacts of climate change. Meanwhile, the latest study indicates that the problem will worsen over time.&nbsp;

As per the study, the change in temperatures will deprive a person of approximately 50 to 58 hours of sleep per year by 2099. It means 10 minutes per night.&nbsp;

It has also been suggested that people from lower-income countries will be impacted by the temperature's effects on sleep loss. &nbsp;

Kelton Minor of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark analysed the information and data taken from sleep-tracking wristbands used by 48,000 people in 68 countries (including the UK, the US, Australia, France, India, Mexico and Canada) between 2015 and 2017.&nbsp;

The study revealed that in the future, adults will fall asleep later and rise earlier. They will sleep lesser on hot nights. The reason behind this is that our body's core temperature needs to drop to fall asleep, which will be difficult to achieve due to higher temperatures.&nbsp;

The change will be consequential with several adverse "physical and mental outcomes".&nbsp;

"Our bodies are highly adapted to maintain a stable core body temperature, something that our lives depend on," said study author Minor.&nbsp;

"Yet every night they do something remarkable without most of us consciously knowing – they shed heat from our core into the surrounding environment by dilating our blood vessels and increasing blood flow to our hands and feet," he added.&nbsp;

Minor also said that across seasons, demographics and different climate contexts "consistently erode sleep" and the amount of sleep loss is "progressively increasing" as temperatures become hotter.&nbsp;

The study, which has been published in the journal One Earth, observed that people in developing countries are more impacted.&nbsp;
