That’s why overcast nights tend to be warmer than clear ones.

There are a couple of whopping big negative feedbacks that are not in any doubt, but their effects are already factored in. They’re why nobody expects the Earth to turn into Venus… But they’re not enough to completely counteract the current forcings. Interestingly, you never see the “septics” talking about them…

There are a number of reasons including that the vapor is concentrated in space not uniform, and not at high enough of an altitude to reflect enough heat … vapor is a green house gas and clouds reflect sunlight, so one can imagine the possible outcomes are complicated. I think, though, that the cloud situation has been largely settled and there isn’t much hope of a significant (or any?) negative feedback there.
