I am sorry not to have given you any comments but NERC's deadline seems unnecessarily short. Anyway I agree with your approach to the cosmic ray -cloud thing i.e. remain circumspect but aware. You could have referred to the extension of the analysis from 1994 to 1998 showing the relationship between cosmic rays and low cloud going away. However, an paper from a Norwegian group at the meeting I have just been to shows that a much stronger correlation occurs between low cloud and TSI. Interesting!!
