The CLOUD experiment consists of a large instrumented chamber in which the atmosphere can be precisely simulated, and the formation and
growth of aerosol particles and the clouds they seed can be studied under precisely controled atmospheric conditions.
[Response: In the 1940 - 1975 time, the growth of greenhouse - gas forcing was negated by
the growth of aerosol cooling — hence temperature was reasonably constant.

However, because
of its acidity, H2SO4 (and potentially MSA) can enhance the formation and
growth of secondary organic
aerosol (SOA) from organic compounds (5, 44, 45), including those produced by homogeneous nucleation
of low - volatility species (46).
Stepping back from there, Hansen looks at 1940 and above: «The approximate stand - still
of global temperature during 1940 - 1975 is generally attributed to an approximate balance
of aerosol cooling and greenhouse gas warming during a period
of rapid
growth of fossil fuel use with little control on particulate air pollution, but quantitative interpretation has been impossible» That's the excuse and it is laughable.

The press release (from the Technical University
of Denmark) states that about 5 %
of the
growth rate
of new
aerosol can be due to ions, which is the main result
of the article.
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.
They concluded that with a bit
of help from changes in solar output and natural climatic cycles such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the
growth in the volume
of aerosols being pumped up power station chimneys was probably enough to block the warming effect
of rising greenhouse gas emissions over the period 1998 - 2008.
Differences in
growth rates have been attributed to differences in spatial variations
of the initial
aerosol sizes, in solubilities, and in magnitudes
of supersaturation.

Vladimir Semenov, a climate scientist at the Institute

Looking at the last decade, it is clear that the observed rate
of change
of upper ocean heat content is a little slower than previously (and below linear extrapolations
of the pre-2003 model output), and it remains unclear to what extent that is related to a reduction in net radiative forcing
growth (due to the solar cycle, or perhaps larger than expected
aerosol forcing
growth), or internal variability, model errors, or data processing — arguments have been made for all four, singly and together.
