Noctilucent clouds - which are made of ice crystals, not water droplets - need very cold temperatures to form, he said.

In the atmosphere's coldest reaches, there's very little water vapor, a key ingredient for cloud formation, Rusch said. Observed increases in water vapor in the atmosphere - a consequence of warming - may also make it easier for the clouds to form, he said.

Water vapor is tremendously more effective as a greenhouse gas than mere Carbon Dioxide. Seems this gent is putting the cart before the horse. The clouds just might be contributing to the warming...not the result of it.
