Svensmark et al. (2009) found large global reductions in the aerosol Ångström exponent from AERONET, liquid water path from SSM / I, and cloud cover from MODIS and ISCCP after large Forbush decreases, but these results were not corroborated by other studies who found no statistically significant links between GCR and clouds at the global scale (Calogovic et al., 2010; Kristjánsson et al., 2008; Laken and Calogovic, 2011).

So Svensmark tweaked his theory: Though clouds at middle and high levels are unaffected by cosmic rays, he said, low - level cloud formation was still highly correlated.

George Tselioudis, a climate scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University in New York City, was interested in which air currents were shifting clouds at high altitude — between about three and a half and six miles high — toward the poles.

Climate researchers still have a lot of work to do when it comes to understanding clouds, says Trenberth, who believes the state of the science is still like that old Joni Mitchell song Both Sides Now, in which she sings, «I really don't know clouds at all.»

It's at least more credible than Hansen's «runaway greenhouse» nonsense, which can be dismissed on rather elementary grounds (without clouds at least), but I think Tamino's post before about «changing the dice» a bit to land more higher numbers, and possibly a few 19's and 20's, is a much more appropriate analogy than the argument that the system behavior will deviate substantially from smoothly varying statistics

The latter results in far longer lines of air mass mixing with more clouds at those lengthened air mass boundaries.
