Could less cloudiness over the tropics be due to warming?

I have been highlighting the retreat of cloud cover in tropical regions for the past 10 years and recently considered geothermal spreading as a significant contributing factor in the source region. However, this retreat may be a byproduct of the warming, not the cause, although it is now certainly exacerbating the warming.

It is widely accepted that total solar irradiance plays a major role in climate. An examination of this shows an increase that began around the same time as the sudden warming (over the last 30-35 years in the oceans).

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
