And back to cosmic rays and the sun.

So, unless the catastrophists can tie CO2 to a master control on the clouds their f'cked?  |

I do not think the models properly account for all of the effects. Phase changes are extremely hard to model on a small scale let alone a planetary scale. Then throw in how clouds impact the radiant heat from the sun. I think there will need to be hundreds of academic papers written to figure out the math. Then the amount of computing power required solve the models will be huge, even by todays standards. |

Heaviest in 70 years. Prior to that what happened? |

They don't engineer for these rare intense events in the Middle East. This was somewhat common in Jeddah when I worked there. Improperly engineered drainage in large parts of Jeddah caused flooding with every rare but large event.

And the drains have debris in them from periods of little use.
they will be clean now though

Saudi was full of them. Modern day demi-slaves who get to go home every two years to see their families that their wages support. |

A Comparison of ENSO Region SST Anomalies and Percentage Cloud Cover.
For ENSO Regions 4, 3.4 and 3 SST and cloud cover are almost inter-changeable. As sea surface temperatures increase, cloud cover percentages rise ... and vice versa. I am assuming it is in that order. Warming surface waters result in higher evaporation rates, which cools as it rises and forms clouds. ENSO Region 1+2 is different for some reason. Suggestions?

And while I'm at it, this chart adds the IR-2-Space timeseries which is measured by satellite for the same longitudinal swath as ENSO Region 4. These display the primary tropical ocean variables (for which we have data) that display tropical sea surface heating and cooling in ENSO zone 4 (160 W -160 E). Sunspots as a proxy for heating. SSTs for ocean surface heat content. Cloud cover for Troposphere insulation. And Long-wave radiation going to space. Note that radiation going to space is dramatically suppressed by clouds.
