Alas, the truth is much simpler than that, to wit:

Well, yes... but the single underlying fact of that article is.. the ice in Greenland is melting because... it is getting warmer... right? From the article...

"Most models have far underestimated the amount of ice-sheet loss, in something meteorologists and climatologists studying climate change attribute to "cloud-climate feedback."

So, this study will help redefine the models, which will help forecasts in the future... right? As time goes by, more and more of the puzzle pieces will be revealed...

Yea ...right

the climate is chaotic long term.... the current cycling between glacial
and interglacial periods only started ~2.5 million years ago. do you
even know why? I do

Life, through the carbon cycle, puts 100 trillion tons of CO2 into the
atmosphere every year from various sources but mostly from rotting
material. It also takes ~100 million tons out of the atmosphere mostly
by promoting new growth... the sinks

sources and sinks and sinks always become sources

All of the coal laid down during the carboniferous epoch came from the
CO2 expelled by volcanoes that ended the last true ice age (snowball
earth) and because there were far fewer sinks at the time the CO2 levels
went to as high as 18 times what they are today....this level of CO2 led
to the biggest explosion of life the world has ever seen.

plant life thrived took much of the carbon and left oxygen at high
enough levels to produce, for instance, dragon flies with two foot wing
spans...the maximum size of insects depends on the amount of oxygen in
the atmosphere....they have no lungs

without CO2 there is no free oxygen

Life, through it's contributions to the atmosphere has maintained the
temperature of the planet at relatively stable levels for ~4 billion
years even while the sun's output has increased by 40%....

For most of the last 600 million years the earths climate was much
warmer, what changed? The answer will be found nowhere in these idiotic
models ...
