I am a great believer that there are scientists and engineers that understand their fields so well that they can clearly show how a natural process works. The treeline in Canada is moving north and the reason for it could be several mechanisms including warmer temperatures, more sunlight to sustain longer photosynthesis, spectrum of light changes, more manure from animal life driven north, etc, etc. I don't pretend to have the answer however I know there are smart scientists who know and it may be a combination of factors. The presence of air pollution nuclei is definitely a driver of condensation however somehow I doubt its absence as China continues to build coal fired generating plants. I did not read the reports to see if the lowering of pollution is regional, ie if the US lowered pollution and the cloud cover only thinned in the US.
Mad Cow disease is a good example of where one lone scientist figured out the source of the problem when money grubbing scientists couldn't figure out the source of the disease.
Back around 1990’s when scientists were feverishly trying to find the source of Mad Cow Disease (Prion Disease) for years and they couldn’t come up with the answer. One scientist finally got in touch with Shirley Lindenbaum, a medical anthropologist with the City University of New York who was studying a tribe in Papua New Guinea. The tribe were having a problem with people suddenly going mad from “Kuru” disease as they called it. After much work in the early 1960’s she found the source of the problem. The men on the island lived separate from the women and children. When a woman wanted children she went to the men’s side of the island. The men hunted small animals for food while the women grew grains and vegetables. The only time the women got meat was when one of them died. They boiled up grandma so to speak.
Shirley discovered that the boiling process did not destroy the “prion” that then carried over into the eater. This was the clue to what was causing mad cow disease. Despite her notifying mad cow researchers of the possible link they ignored her for some time.
She is relatively uncredited in the history of Mad Cow disease.
My point is there are smart, ethical scientists out there who are not doing high profile work but often have the answers. Unfortunately they are often ignored and the sloppy high profile money grubbing scientists with their shoddy work get the ear of the government and wrong decisions are made. We need more dedicated ethical scientists like Shirley Lindenbaum.
You sound like you would be interested in the work of Dr Thomas Seyfried PhD who has built a very strong case that cancer is a metabolic disease, originating from dysfunctional mitochondria. Biochemically plausible (that is my background) but gaining traction very slowly as his treatment protocol does not create the gusher of income/profit that the standard modes of treatment do.

I listened to the short video. I am not good with medical terminology so it wasn't something that I understood but I am impressed by what he has discovered.
