How about explaining how some clouds blocks the sun and cool the Earth and other clouds block the sun and warm the Earth? The Year Without a Summer, 1816 caused a worldwide short and poor growing season with a 5.4°F cooler than ~normal~. This was the result of the Mount Tambora volcano blowing up in Indonesia. That should have caused a year without a winter, right? And when the meteor hit off Yucatan and ended the Cretaceous Period with a cooling period, why wasn't there a heating period? (Be careful answering here; Venus is cloud-covered and hot as hell and Mars has no clouds and is cold as a witch's tit.)There is substantial discussion about the relationship between heating and CO² and which comes first, the chicken or the egg. Does CO² induce heating, or does heating increase CO² output? There is a third opinion that I postulate: they are coincident companions; they rise or fall in unison due to events neither controls nor causes, like sunspot cycles. Just in case I don't live long enough to receive my Nobel Prize in person, I'd like MIT to change the name of the institution to Little Green Man Institute of Blather, LGMIB. It just rolls off your tongue!(Watch out for trick questions here. If you don't know your ass from your elbow, maybe you should just give a canned answer like, "You're a scientific *****..." (Feel free to use more than the standard four words and ignore spelling, that's just for sissies anyway.)
