New Research Finds that Solar Eclipses are Harder to See Due to Global Warming

There is a lot of concern about cloudiness obscuring the sun during next Monday's total eclipse.

Interestingly it turns out that such eclipse-viewing problems are increasing as the earth warms up due to increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
 
A recent study in the Journal of Climate Statistics by Professor Wade Rocston of the University of Western East New Brunswick documents a significant (23%) increasing trend in cloud-obscured solar eclipses.

The origin of the increasing cloud cover is clear according the Professor Rocston.  Increasing CO2 leads to global warming.  Such warming results in more evaporation and the moisture content of the air increases with temperature (see below).  This leads to more clouds and thus greater obscuration of solar eclipses.

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
