The increase of Earth's near surface temperatures, coupled with even greater increases in the mid- to upper-tropical troposphere, as documented in recent decades, would at least partially explain" the observations.
For example, methane leads to increased formation of ozone in the troposphere, which can reduce agricultural yields.
The megacryometeor develops in a clear sky because of the anomalous conditions in troposphere and stratosphere.
The increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the troposphere (up to five miles above sea level) results in less heat reaching the stratosphere, so more of the heat radiated by the Earth is reflected back, instead of escaping to warm the stratosphere.
What's also unusual is that the lowest layer of the atmosphere - the troposphere - is much thinner than usual for October.
