> clouds that have a huge effect on reflecting radiation

My understanding is that clouds are inside that part of the atmosphere in which radiative forcing has decreased. This means that while they may reflect radiation so that it does not reach the ground, they do not stop (all) the energy from being trapped within the atmosphere.

> war, famine, poverty

All actual problems that will result from significant climate change, not distinct from climate change (even though they may exist for other reasons too).
