Certain types of radiation from space nucleate clouds on earth by creating cascading collisions among molecules of gas high in the atmosphere. To the extent such radiation is deflected away from earth, we get less cloud cover, and average temperatures rise. To the extent such radiation is not deflected but is instead allowed to strike the earth’s atmosphere unimpeded, we get more cloud cover, and average temperatures drop.

Why so vague? Spit it out! The type of ionizing radiation that contributes to cloud-formation is: Cosmic rays!

Your statements strongly imply that the concentration of these gases stands in direct relation to the "deflection" of this ionizing radiation - and that those concentrations very.

So my question now to you: What gases in Earth's (upper) atmosphere - with a variable concentration! - mask / deflect / absorb / trap this ionizing radiation and thus affect the nucleation of clouds in the troposphere?

“..strongly imply...”

No.

Not even “imply”.

Can’t stop you from inferring anything you wish to infer, though.

Not sure why you’re saying what you’re saying, but, to each his own.

Too lazy to cite sources today buy anyone might try to track them down. You might even be aware of them.
