    The article is stupid imo. The earth cools down more than 1°F an hour when clouds appear, the sun disappearing is gonna cool down a bit more than a cloudy day. This is why I don’t get my weather forecasts from physicists. At least, that’s what seems right to me. We lose a ton of heat every night why wouldn’t losing the sun be similar lol

      The ENTIRE PLANET does not cool by more than a degree from a few clouds you absolute moron. We’re not talking about your local microclimate, we’re talking about the entire world. This is as dumb a response as saying it snowed recently, so global warming isn’t real.

        The entire planet isn’t smothered in clouds, but your location could be. This was just a real world example of the air temperature being directly affected by a lack of sunlight. Edit: you know you might be right but I don’t wanna admit it. I was thinking in Fahrenheit. Although where I am the temps are already cold, so I might be a bit biased from that as well
