wait a sec.... scientists aren’t sure where clouds come from?? This clashes with what they taught me in sixth grade!

HGow can we predict “climate change” if we don’t even know where clouds come from?

We'll need more funding to answer that. Therefore, gimme money.

You're right, of course -- this is patent nonsense. Here's the diagram Mrs. Quirk taught us in sixth grade science class. We all know it to be true.

Cloud formation has been SHOUTED as a major weakness in the climate models forever. That is not the only one. Nearly all the elements of the GCMs are very far from capability of modeling within 1% their own contribution. Even 1% leads to a chaotic effect that cascades without any assurance the model is close to predictive even 10 years out, to say nothing about 100 years out.

Gut some critter, and check the entrails.

Actually, cloud formation has always been poorly understood, but that doesn’t stop scientists from stating their current theory as a fact simply because it’s the best one they have.
