this [CERN/CLOUD} study shows that under the conditions of the experiment, the effect of cosmic rays by themselves is too low to trigger cloud formation at the rates actually seen in our atmosphere. What is very clear is that any claims at this time that cosmic rays definitely affect global warming are baloney.

However, Jasper Kirkby, the lead scientist on the project, whose work is often pointed to by climate-change skeptics as “proof” that any climate change taking place is not manmade, said the following regarding his experiment, noting that the level of change in chemistry found in the experiment was insufficient to support a cloud formation process:
“At the moment, [the experiment] actually says nothing about a possible cosmic-ray effect on clouds and climate.”
This “nothing” was magically transformed by climate-change skeptics and deniers into the aforementioned “convincing evidence”.
