Deniers claim clouds white, reflect sunlight; Dessler says no | JunkScience Sidebar

Curiously though, Dessler states: “Over a century, however, clouds can indeed play an important role amplifying climate change“. Not too sure over his century-long time scales but his statement is pretty much an affirmation of Svensmark’s Cosmic Ray Theory where a more aggressive solar output is amplified by reduced cloudiness allowing yet more absorption of incident radiation and conversely reduced solar warming is exacerbated by increased cloudiness and reduced absorption of incident radiation. Specifically solar climate effect amplified by clouds, not climate effect initiated by clouds. So what’s his problem? Comments from Roger Pielke Sr. and Luboš Motl appended.
