Will increasing carbon dioxide cause warming that is so small that it can be safely ignored (low climate sensitivity)?

Is there some particular reason you are incapable of looking at actual science rather than this complete pack of lies?

This starts with falsehoods and continues to more falsehoods leading to a false conclusion.

The second you see a “graph” as shoddily produced and unreadable as the one presented, you know you are dealing with bullshit.

Then you have:

Simple linear regression yields a net feedback factor of 5.8 Watts per sq. meter per degree C. If this was the feedback operating with global warming, then it would amount to only 0.6 deg. C of human-caused warming by late in this century. (Use of sea surface temperatures instead of tropospheric temperatures yields a value of over 11).

First off, he did the math wrong. You can not just do a simple linear regression. Rather than typing an essay as to why, I invite you to learn some basic science and statistics as to why. To those who do know science this does not pass the giggle test.

More importantly, if what he was saying was true, and it is not, the Earth would be cooling… Yet it is not. 2000-2009 was the warmest decade on record and it contained three of the warmest years on record. The second warmest decade on record was the 90’s, the third was the 80’s, and the forth was the 70’s.

Now I want you to re-read that last part. If what you have stupidly regurgitated was true, the Earth would be cooling.

It is not.

That puts paid to your argument and ends it right there. That is how science works. Your hypothesis was disproved by the data.
