Recently there was a denier that posted videos and made claims that cloud formation via cosmic rays are what is causing the current warming. This despite recent experimentation only showing, thus far, that nano-sized particles are enhanced in production but these particles are far to small for cloud seeding.
If experimentation continues and it is shown that cloud formation via cosmic ray input does cause a lot warming and cooling on the surface how much would it effect it? Is there any data that shows abundance of clouds in the atmosphere and how they have changed throughout time? How much temperature change would this contribute?
Note: I am well aware that the current warming is not due to increasing shortwave radiation from the Sun as it goes against the data, such as satellite measurements, ground based measurements and differential spatial and temporal warming rates and temperature changes. This is purely hypothetical and, if it is found that cloud formation has decreased in the recent past, I'd like estimates on exactly how much temperatures are affected.
Here is an article in Nature dealing with Kirkby's experiments
