Another mechanism found that they forgot to put in the models.

As we know the climate models that make the scary predictions are heavily fudged, partly because they don't include messy things like clouds. So here is one aspect they are missing- sulphides emitted by plankton that inititiate cloud formation.

Despite being among the most studied climate forcers, quantification of the radiative effects of sulfur aerosols remains a challenge for global climate models, especially in the Southern Ocean where notable radiative differences between climate model simulations and satellite observations suggest that the effects of natural aerosols are being underestimated

But the science is settled! https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adq2465 for more laughs.
