    An interesting tidbit

    Found that clouds have been decreasing over the Pacific hot zone.  i.e the equator NINO zone.   And as to be assumed SW energy (sunlight) had increased that reached the oceans with this decrease in ALBEDO (clouds).  
    Note that solar output from the sun has decreased marketedly in the last two decades.
    There is a nice dirct correlation here that no one should dispute.

    The search engine for this data is KNMI located here..  Below is the correlation of Cloud cover and surface radiation

    Perfect anticorrelation!  I have green circles have been highlighted  for the next post after this regarding the seperation of this anti correlation.
    The individual charts so i am not accused of doctoring data which appears to be commonplace for peeps who do not understand what they are looking at.
