saw a pretty
animation of the water currents around Europe.
looked for similar animation for Antarctica, didn't find any.
Found
The Global Conveyor Belt animation.
anyway, before this, I had only looked towards Antarctica itself as worsening cloud source in the past 10 years.
But of course, the changing water temperatures in the more Northerly parts of the planet and the slow currents add heaps to the observed change in cloud cover.
Actually, the water temperature change - and cloud cover change - which affects you now, might have begun 500 - 1000 years ago.
And indeed: there was a
temperature rise back then!
That also means it's not them Volkswagen Diesel motors!
And it means that, come the waters of the "Little Ice Age" to South Eastern Australia, your cloud problem will disappear.
