I took Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer Theory courses at GWU while getting my BSEE in the 70's. Global Warming caused by increasing the CO2 content of the atmosphere never made a lick of sense to me. I pulled out my old textbooks and confirmed my suspicions in less that 20 minutes. The proof was right in graphs and tables - I wish my exam questions were that simple.

What bothers me most is what the hell are they teaching now if AGW could be so easily refuted by an undergraduate engineering student 30 years ago?

I consider myself a skeptic, but that point about AGW violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics really jolted me.

Forgive me for being somewhat mealy-mouthed, but I'm still in shock. If the AGW model truly violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, then billions upon billions of dollars have been sunk into a more complex variant of a perpetual-motion machine.

I'm actually getting a headache as I'm writing this...
