The temperature of a parcel of air determines how much water vapor the air can hold.

Warmer air holds much more water vapor than cold air.

It's not the clouds that make the air warm, it's the warm air that holds enough water to make the clouds.

It's not that hard. Just go out on a clear night and cloudy night, at the same time of year, and measure the humidity, or just feel it. All will be revealed.

" do you realise that those clouds and water vapour have a far more telling effect then Carbon Dioxide on reflected / transmitted, or heat retained regarding our common planet ? "

No, and neither do climate scientists. Actually, the amount of water vapor is dependent on the temperature, which is controlled by CO2 levels.

I know; I learned about it in 8th grade.
