Michael, I am sure that there is more that we don't know about what affects our climate than what we do know. So what's your point? Are we suddenly OK now with global warming because we found out that we didn't totally understand how clouds form? Do we have to wait until there is absolute certainty that the climate is out of control before we take action? BTW, did I argue that we DID totally understand cloud formation, or something? I don't recall such a statement. What is certain is that CO2 levels are higher than they have been for thousands of years. What is also certain is that we have a president who has zilch for scientific training, and shows a total lack of ability to understand basic science, arrogantly thinking that he knows better than the vast majority of scientists that say that global warming is a problem. Curious that he would spend a trillion on a missile defense system that MIGHT work against an ICBM that he thinks MIGHT be lobbed at us, but doesn't want to take action against the threat of global warming that is very PROBABLE. He will not be re-elected, so he will only be in the way for 3 1/2 more years before progress will be made. I'm sure that you have seem the polls that says that only 33% of the people think that he is making the right decisions on the environment and energy. I predict that number will drop even more. Those same people vote. You seem to have missed the summary at the end of the article. How come the clouds didn't make things all better in recent years? "But Dr. Hansen, Dr. Seinfeld and other scientists say it is equally clear that the earth's surface is undergoing a sharp warming. How can the apparent paradox be reconciled? Dr. Hansen said it might well be that, just as scientists appear to have underestimated the cooling effect of clouds, they might have underestimated the warming influence of substances that trap heat.
