Here’s an analysis that shows that Man’s CO2 contribution to the greenhouse effect is 0.117%.
Thanks! :)
It’s going to take me a while to go through the information but it looks to be worth it!
To: marstegreg
Roy Spencer is Rush's climatologist, and he would be the first to report he didn't "discover" anything. He's been a true scientist, i.e., a skeptic, on AGW from "Day One," as the Obami like to say in unison.
Highly recommend his blog.

I have that on a bookshelf at home.
You don't forget a title like that.

It’s not a very impressive article... it doesn’t actually provide any details.

No, but there is some interesting reading in that book.
I looked for a hard copy quite a while, finally found one in a book store in MO. They wanted $50 for it, I passed. When I discovered Project Gutenberg that solved that problem.
When I originally read the book I spent a weekend in a small town in eastern KS and it was in the local library. Spent a couple of days there reading it. (could not check it out, I was out of state. I guess I could have gotten it “on loan”.)

None of the meteorologists I ever met ever thought that.
This guy is just catching up.

His writings show up on the The Register (UK) which is a technical computer website:

They like tantalizing little headlines ...

It is interesting to me that the RF and EE techies are generally very conservative (many came up through military). Almost all of my old Ham tech friends are pro-MIL right wing gun toters. Some worse than I am.
But many of the computer techies are lefties. There are some very technical computer guys, but not in the young crowd.
It is dangerous to speak in generalities, but that is my observation.
