Firing BS for effect, I see.

I'm sure there are lots of studies that show similar results and lots of people who can't be bothered to check history whowill accept them as read.

LOL, and they talk about us being the conspiracy theorists.

As usual, you are fudging the figures to give the answers you want.

Take Transient Climate Sensitivity = Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity/ 2 = ~1.5C

The TCS is the change in earth's average temperature over a short period in response to a doubling of CO2, where the ECS is the long term sensitivity that brings the earth's energy budget into equilibrium, something that will take hundreds to thousands of years.

Delta-T = (TCS) * ln(New CO2 Conc/Old CO2 Conc)/Ln(2) [See page 36 of David Archer's Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast]

Lets say that CO2 concentration has gone from 260mm to 400ppm, a change by a factor of 1.54.

The change in Temperature in the short term, due to CO2 increase, is (1.5)*ln(1.5)/Ln(2) = 0.93C

That will be affected by other greenhouse gases, and by volcanic dust, oceanic cycles and sulphate aerosols. But it is in the ballpark of what we are seeing.

Professor John Nielsen-Gammon explains this in the link I posted for you, but he used too many big words for your brain.

I wonder how many of them bought into a pyramid scheme, because my guess is that most alarmists are simply gullible.

Grover Norquist Abruptly Changes Position On Carbon Tax After Facing Criticism From Koch-Backed Group | ThinkProgress

Update: Obviously the fossil fuel guys pulled in on Grover's chain. Poor guy!

“There is no conceivable way to add an energy or [value-added tax] to the burdens American taxpayers face that would not violate the pledge over time,” he said in a statement Tuesday.

Norquist appeared to be backing off comments he made to National Journal in a story published Nov. 12. He told the publication that he opposes a carbon tax, but said that coupled with income tax cuts it could be structured in a way that didn’t violate the pledge.

Norquist, like a lot of others deniers, is like Wiley Coyote running on empty air, until he realises there is nothing underneath him.
