previous ipcc reports tended to assume that clouds would have a neutral impact because the warming and cooling feedbacks would cancel each other out.

the albedo of increased cloudiness cools the climate, resulting in a negative feedback; while the reflection of infrared radiation by clouds warms the climate, resulting in a positive feedback.
