Tbh: I don’t have sufficient knowledge to answer this question properly.

I’m not sure if no models cover this, or only some that are shared a lot.

Even if, how would that change the thermodynamics of the greenhouse effect?

Every kid intuitively knows that it‘s warmer when there‘s direct sunlight when compared to clouds. Especially in modernday cities, with lots of concrete, direct sunlight creates a lot of heat. The past decades have seen a decrease in cloud coverage in Europe alongside warming. https://climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2022/clouds-and-sunshine-duration

Couldn‘t it be that warming and clouds are related?

What do you think about this?

Sounds reasonable. Since I’m a grown kid, it seems very intuitive to come to this conclusion. The question is: Why is there less cloud coverage?
