My father has been going on about cloud coverage lately. The conspiracy being that they have a cooling effect and invalidate some liberal climate change agenda.
Yeah, being left out of the models plays into the conspiracy factor. My father mentioned that climate scientists are shills knowingly leaving out this data.
Cloud coverage impact on global temperature is one of the last unknowns hard for us to predict. Hence it is the last defense any serious scientist for denial
We have a clearly observed and measured rapid global warming in the last decades. So whatever mechanism might counteract global warming, it obviously allowed the rapid warming to happen and unless anyone can present a plausible model why the counteraction should get stronger than any further warming, it won't prevent further warming.
