Abstract: The Thunderstorm Thermostat Hypothesis is the hypothesis that tropical clouds and thunderstorms actively regulate the temperature of the earth. This keeps the earth at an equilibrium temperature regardless of changes in the forcings. Several kinds of evidence are presented to establish and elucidate the Thermostat Hypothesis –historical temperature stability of the Earth, theoretical considerations, satellite photos, and a description of the equilibrium mechanism.
