    simple logic shows that any greenhouse agent (clouds, CO2, CH4, etc) would result in positive net gain.

    For example suppose clouds reflect 10% of heat. They will reduce sun induced heating by 10% during day (12hr) and decrease cooling by 10% during day and night (24hr).
    10% * 12/24 = 5%
    10% * 24/24 = 10%
    5% < 10%

    Its accepted that low white clouds provide negative forcing as in Svenmarks study.
