“Earth’s climate can only be stabilized by bringing carbon dioxide emissions under control in the twenty-first century.”

Gotta put that in there, even though the entire article appears to show how the CO2 menace has been vastly overstated.

"the truth has emerged – scientists have no idea of how Earth’s climate will change in the future because they don’t know why it changed in the past."

Thus there is NO "Climate Science", only efforts to develop same.

We'll know they have it under control when all the plants start dying from suffocation.

Someone finally is starting to get it from the physical chemistry and thermodynamic perspective.

I salute the authors of the paper for their genuine humility as scientists. I haven’t read the paper and do not know the details at this time, but the authors’ frank admission of what is not known is exactly what has been needed in debates on climate change. These authors are moving the discussion of climate change onto a scientific basis and away from the hysteria that has fed into IPCC reports and other efforts to influence policy decisions.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "money quote."

Thank you. Global cooling is simmering on schedule.

Greenhouse gases cannot replace the lost of solar energy.

I’m still not sure that everyone understands that CO2, even with positive feedbacks added, can’t trap any heat in the atmosphere directly, as witnessed by it cooling down by 10-20 degrees (or more in certain areas) easily every night. The only significant place energy could be trapped is the ocean, hence why Argo ‘is it’ for longer term temperature trends, and why El Nino/La Nina influence things so much. I assume when people have blamed a recent hot (or cold) spell on Global Warming they have measured the sea surface temperature nearby to explain why…

I’m from the UK where the sea is obviously a very important factor in our weather, I do always wonder what explanation people come up with to relate say, hot (or cold) temperatures in Alice Springs to CO2 as I can’t see how it could influence anything without warming the entire ocean by a lot all around Australia.

Even more obvious is that the IR adsorption spectrum of CO2 is almost entirely shadowed by water vapor, of which there is vastly more. Yet the thugs in the control business don't want to regulate water vapor emissions at all. Why?

Fuel cells make water vapor, and the owners of the oil and gas business are heavily invested in minerals necessary to make catalysts.

I think we need to see the paper....

Most of you would do well to read the paper, not just the post. One clue is the airplane in the troposphere, this isn’t a “hey, it’s not man after all” paper. It really is a “Hey, it’s worse than we thought!” paper. Anytime the word polutants is used, pay attention. Rarely does that mean that Mother Nature is messing with us.

There's another valid way to approach the problem?

I've tried to explain the complicated nature of atmospheric chemistry and thermodynamics to people. Unfortunately they are more comfortable with the lie they can understand than the truth that they can't.
