Really?
I thought there wasn't so much trickery about it....
Some, admittedly, since "colour" does have something to do with whether sun's IR radiation is trapped or bounced back, which all boils as well down to water itself.
Steam vs cloud.....sea vs ice....not the same thing.....
But we know enough about it to build a steam engine

But then, solar activity also seems to be tricky. If we have low IR from the sun while the globe heats up.....now is it just the sun???
