If only our leaders were leaders and if only the media remembered what their job is but sadly they have either drunk the Kool-aid or are more motivated by profit than truth. What did Solzhenitsyn say? - 'Live not by Lies' The corporate capture of every aspect of nature continues apace and people will suffer. I wish more would wake up!

The scientific establishment must have done this analysis.

They will have done - and more besides - they know exactly what they are doing. By way of example, when I once chatted to colleagues who advised Thatcher and her Cabinet it came out over drinky-poos that renewable energy would be promoted for the next few decades not because it was good for the planet but because they knew it would fail spectacularly, thus paving the way for 100% nuclear as the only option. When it comes to power play folk are not even seeing the tip of the iceberg.

This analysis deserves to be widely circulated. Would you consider putting it on Wattsupwiththat?

Why thank you kindly! I do have a contact there but it all went quiet when the pandemic hit - I shall have to give them a prod.

From Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-03640-5?WT.ec_id=NATURE-202212&sap-outbound-id=20B053870232A9CC6E400D5BF9EB8DA1B5D05340

Observations refute the idea that warming strongly reduces cloudiness

The response of cumulus clouds in trade-wind regions to warming is a large uncertainty in climate projections. Observations now indicate that the mechanism leading to the strongest cloud reductions in models does not occur in nature, suggesting that extreme sensitivity of Earth’s temperatures to climate change is less likely than previously thought.

You are welcome, keep up the COVID and Climate C&C. Oh! and Population Control. CC&C.

If you are minded I would love to see a detailed critique of this

to reconcile apparently earlier harvests and worried winemakers, with climate change skepticism.

Morning John! I'm afraid every minute of available brain time is committed to existing projects, with no let up for the foreseeable future. I've yet to read an alarmist article or paper that stands up to scrutiny.
