Many of the experts (like Dr Hansen) dealing with global warming rightfully only look at what they think is going on and since the concentration of carbon dioxide (although I still have no idea how they can get an average concentration reading instantly all over the world) has increased, the culprit of global warming is this increase of carbon dioxide.

Global average temperature has been pretty much what was expected, given la Nina conditions and, yes, global warming.

More clouds both drastically reduce energy input from the sun and simply slow release of what energy there is trapped in the lower troposphere, but the long term effect would be a fall in average temperature because of the significantly reduced input power but the atmosphere's ability to cool is aided by air current circulation whereby the warmer air rises above those low clouds and that infra - red is more easily re-emitted into space, whereby the low clouds now block that re-emission from hitting the ground again to any significant degree.

Once such an IPCC exposition of the assumptions, complications and uncertainties of climate models was constructed and made public, it would immediately have to lead, in my view, to more questions from the informed public such as what does calculating a mean global temperature change mean to individuals who have to deal with local conditions and not a global average and what are the assumptions, complications and uncertainties that the models contain when it comes to determining the detrimental and beneficial effects of a «global» warming in localized areas of the globe.
