re: #22 carnaby
right on. Couple this with the limited ability of CO2 to absorb radiative wavelengths and yur left with a warming signature that’s…undetectable.
Doesn’t matter, of course. Lindzen’s recent work, arguably the world’s greatest climate scientist, wherein he clearly proves via unassailable (in any relevant degree) ERBA data that as temperature goes up, the Earth ‘takes off it’s jacket’…well, it’s pretty well reduced CO2 to a ‘bit player’ in the world climate system.
The Hawking quote is…provocative, not informative.
