Clouds and temperature

[GregLocock]

Correlation is not causation. OTOH we had a sunlight detector sensor on the dashboard which automatically adjusted the temperature setting by a degree or so if the sun was out. So is increasing CO2 causing the clouds to disappear? Or are the clouds affecting the temperature and disappearing for other reasons? Or what can the useless computer models tell us?

Cloud cover might drop as we desulphurize fuels, for example.

Yes! Thank you.

There are so many improvements to our emissions since the beginning of the industrial revolution. We don't have acid rain anymore. The amount of particulate carbon (and sulfur) that are emitted are way, way down. Are we so convinced that ONLY our CO2 emissions can cause increases in temperatures? Especially when we our proposed policy 'solutions' will cripple our economy and cause all kinds of suffering.

I'm not even talking about the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of our temperature records. I think they're sufficient evidence that the world is warming. And, there is sufficient evidence to believe (though not to prove) that man is a good part of these temperature increases.
