wattsupwiththat.com/2016/05/19/earthshine-project-reports-on-earths-reflectance-over-the-last-16-years/Also discussed here, Basically, they've been measuring the albedo of the earth from 2 means, satellite, and from earth via changes in reflectivity off the moon (effectively the amount of light reflecting off the earth, then back of the moon can be measured) The measurements from the satellite data and the earth based measurements match!! woohoo!! And they show not much change over the last 16 years. So questions are, should albedo change if world affected by CO2 or not?? Does this confirm 'the pause'?? The following is the albedo / Earthshine graph followed by cloud cover graph at 15N-15S. Note any comparison for the 2008 period?

Depends, how long before the dog jumps on the bed? Surely you mean the cow jumps over the moon?

To take the wiggle discussion out of the discussion lets find a smoothed but agreed metric that does not depend on the sun being only 50% visible.
Just saying, but yes very quiet the sun.

Hey Ratty how did you slip the cow in, and what hopped over the sun in those rhymes?

[ Snip ] Ratty was showing his erudition - the rhyme is all astronomical [ Snip ] There's no need to be rude, Naut.
