Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

This is correct. Clouds reflect incident sunlight. Water vapor itself is a
greenhouse gas. The models used to predict climate have difficulties with clouds; because of
the parametrizations, they are difficult to deal with correctly. Progress is being made in
modeling, and new generations of models will improve this situation.
