Your earlier # 182 was equally disconcerting where you quoted Norris and Slingo (2009) saying «At present, it is not known whether changes in cloudiness will exacerbate, mitigate, or have little effect on the increasing global surface temperature caused by anthropogenic greenhouse radiative forcing.» (realclimate.org)
A small change in cloudiness over the rest of the Earth's surface can be far more important than major changes in the area of the ice caps. (sjsu.edu)
It has been proposed that Earth's climate could be affected by changes in cloudiness caused by variations in the intensity of galactic cosmic rays in the atmosphere. (science.sciencemag.org)
