The Skeptic demands: temperature data (draft)

Posted on 7 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Judith Curry had a post today which just made my blood boil when she tried to excuse the appalling culture within those groups producing a “global temperature figure” by saying “They are doing their best”. In my experience, that comment … Continue reading →

Reconciling skydragons and mainstream skeptics?

Posted on 3 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Greenhouse gases, are not so much “trapping” heat, as acting by “tapping” heat. They are acting as a vector (tap) enabling the flow of energy between the adiabatic controlled atmosphere and the IR radiation that eventually leaves the atmosphere. And … Continue reading →

The CO2 Greenhouse effect is real (sometimes)
