The arrogance of ignorance: Saiditor fails to grasp what water vapor is. Then pauses to suggest rainfall would confuse other people.

Water vapor is transparent in the visible spectrum.

Water vapor feedback is strongly positive.

The high albedo things in the atmosphere are clouds. Cloud feedback could be either, but it is smaller in magnitude than water vapor feedback.

what are clouds made of again? I forget.

A cloud is a mass of water drops or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

Do you forget what "gas" and "liquid" are too?

Sorry, clouds are what?

Clouds are masses of water drops or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

If you're having trouble understanding the difference between that and water vapor, may I suggest an elementary school science education?

and when they condense into clouds, what happens to the sunshine hitting them?

When "they" condense into clouds ... what is "they"?

Are you asking when clouds condense into clouds?

Because that's fucking stupid.

what happens to the sunshine hitting them?

You assume that sunshine is hitting them. Do you think clouds don't exist at night?

FFS you've gone full retard.

Do clouds that form in the tropics during the afternoon pop up during the night? HAHAHA

You assumed sunlight is hitting them.

I didn't assume that it isn't. I pointed out that your assumption is wrong.

While it's amusing that you can't get your argument about clouds to work without making up falsehoods, your whole argument is also a red herring.

"Water vapor feedback is strongly positive" is the point you were claiming is wrong.

My assumption is that you will intentionally miss the point that clouds are made from water vapor, and cool the planet as a negative temperature feedback on a constant basis, with a corollary that ZERO of the doomsday models account for this observed phenomenon. Therefore I declare myself the winner for this thread, and remind you my assumption has been Correct all along.
