I consider it likely that "cloud effect" is a dependent variable and not independent. In that case, it's already in there. cn
Yes, how could it be independent? We are discussing a feedback loop. What you are leaving out is the cycles. Long tern cycles suggest this is a closed loop, epoch period cycling, stable system.
The politics is human guilt layed on a short term observation of what is clearly a long term cycling. The idea of the sheer coincidence of our measuring ability as it intersects the current cycle has not been ruled out. There is however, the guilt to say we fucked it up.
There is carbon that can be detected, 14, 13, 12, that says something about our contribution to the CO2. But, nothing is said about the mechanism that CO2 can cause a open loop. Nothing is known about the total quantity of CO2 that can cause an open loop and it can't be model against the data. Certainly, then, nothing is known about the CO2 minority that human activity brings.
And nothing could be done. We could completely de-rail the world economy. I just don't see how, even if we ruined it accidentally which I doubt, that we could be trusted to wildly spend the world's treasure to "fix" it.
And there is the hubris to say, we can fix it.
