biogenic vapours emitted by trees and oxidised in the atmosphere have a significant impact on the formation of clouds, thus helping to cool the planet.

You would think the planet would be affected by changes in solar output and also by the magnetosphere solar winds etc but none of this appears in climate models, is this why their models are so inaccurate? We have a deep and secret disgust for modellers in our organisation. Not the people but the profession. I was with another science nerd at a presentation a modeller was giving and he actually said this "we asked the model where the best place to take data was to verify the model" thinking it was a clever way of using the model. My colleague and I shoved our heads in our hands in disbelief.
We asked him why he didn't ask the model the best place to collect data to disprove the model and he had no idea what why you would do that. This guy was earning $200k a year modelling ocean currents for pollution. Low and behold 8 years later there was a mass kelp die off because the model was essentially wrong.

Unfortunately I am all too aware of science being hijacked.
I never understood why we pollute so much, surely we should've an innate desire to protect the very environment we live in? Oh yeah thats right money......
