I bet this has not been programmed in to the latest climate models:

Interesting Bruce.
This was first mentioned as long ago as 1987.

Go to

for more discussion.

I loved this bit:

DMS is generated by intracellular or extracellular enzymatic cleavage of DMSP [dimethylsulfoniopropionate] by DMSP-lyase, which is synthesized by algae and bacteria, following DMSP secretion from producer cells or release following autolysis or viral attack,....."

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Just shows that clouds produce so much uncertainty in the climate system.
Predicting, or letting the models project future climate with any degree of detail is dodgy.

Yes, interesting. But past climate models have projected future conditions (i.e. now) remarkably well and thus uncertainties such as clouds must have been factored into their error bars well. Their accuracy over 30 years has been quite amazing and that accuracy is highly likely to improve into the future.

IPCC AR5 shows this very well.
