The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Solar Irradiance Variability and Climate (2013, result): “Thus the CLOUD experiment at CERN has so far returned only equivocal results on the effectiveness of cosmic rays in producing clouds (Kirkby et al. 2011).”
Solar Influence on Global and Regional Climates (2012, background): “The ﬁrst results have just been published (Kirkby et al. 2011).”
Earth's energy imbalance and implications (2011, background): “(2010) are not supportive, cloud chamber experiments of Kirkby et al. (2011) find a small effect”
Molecular understanding of sulphuric acid–amine particle nucleation in the atmosphere (2013, background): “Thereafter, each additional acid molecule is stabilized by one additional DMA molecule, following a sequence of acid–base pairs: (3, 2) R (4, 3) R (5, 4) R (n, n 2 1).”
Modeling the formation and growth of atmospheric molecular clusters: A review (2020, background): “Nitrogen-containing compounds with high basicity such as ammonia (DePalma et al., 2012, 2014; Kirkby et al., 2011), monoamines (Almeida et al., 2013; Glasoe et al., 2015; Jen et al., 2014; Kurtén et al., 2008), diamines (Elm, Jen et al., 2016; Elm, Passananti et al., 2017; Jen, Bachman et al.,…”
