governed by cloud cover and the quantity of atmospheric particles called aerosols.

As for the Sun, well, like AnnaV I consider that the 2
by far most important factors in climate evolution is the cloudiness because it
governs albedo and the large scale oceans» behaviour because that's where the energy is Again you are so angry at the AGW crowd, that you miss the whole point: the all - important
clouds and albedo vary together, but do not vary with the solar cycle, as far as our observations go, e.g. http://www.leif.org/research/cloud-cover.png and http://www.leif.org/research/albedo.png
As someone who has worked with modeling complex systems, and also worked with
governed systems, this is amazing stability for a system which is
governed by things as ephemeral as
clouds and wind.
The suggested hypothesis, is that in regions devoid of dust (e.g., over the large ocean basins), the formation of
cloud condensation nuclei takes place from the growth of small aerosol clusters, and that the formation of the latter is
governed by the availability of charge, such that charged aerosol clusters are more stable and can grow while neutral clusters can more easily break apart.
I can tell you that it is related to the ions in the atmosphere which are
governed by solar activity and in fact, there are three microphysical mechanisms linking these ions to the nucleation and growth of
cloud condensation nuclei.
From the perspective of Le Chatelier's Principle,
clouds happen at the whim of temperature (which in turn is
governed by altitude), not conversely.
A greenhouse effect
governed by scattering of IR light would also not be sensitive to a
cloud temperature (or the lapse rate in general) wheras the temperature change with altitude is the key behind the existence of the traditional absorption / emission GHG effect on Earth.
