"Finally, it does not, Gufpott, demand near instantaneous response to solar variation, as readers will see."

The solar irradiance series cycles in roughly 11 year intervals. No smoothing or storage due to the complex climate system.

The well prepared "index" of 8 anthropogenic influences (including snow albedo!) follows a smoothly rising curve.

grastog - if you need this to help your case, it is clear that you'll grope around for anything to support your deeply entrenched mindset.

The same Oliver Tickell that whispered in Mrs. T's ear lb?

The one that started all this BS??

Lean Rind 2008 appear to be following the crowd as far as aerosols go. the world would be so much warmer without man placing particles in the air would it not. so where are the particles put in the air for the most part? my guess would be the industrialized northern hemisphere. and where are the coolest temperatures? the southern hemisphere? wait, how does that work? they have a compass and fly down to the southern hemisphere just as fast as they can? almost makes me think we have this all wrong

arctic gales on the way here in England,brrrr. i am sure hanson will show warming

and the debate will be recorded for airing on BBC World News Television (reaching 280 million households globally) and NPR nationally. (Global Warming Politics)

On January 13, at Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway at 95th Street, New York, Bjørn Lomborg, Peter Huber (Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute), and I will be debating the motion Major reductions in carbon emissions are not worth the money with Daniel Kammen, Oliver Tickell, and Adam Werbach in one of the now famous blockbuster IQ2 U.S. debates. The moderator will be John Donvan, correspondent for ABC News Nightline,

The paper provides no EVIDENCE, just a degree of correlation.

As the World was already leaving the mini ice age, we would expect some warming.

Nothing that has happened is unusual!

The paper also fails to acknowledge that we don't really know what caused the World to enter & leave mini ice ages.

Incidentally, re a comment by Dave below, the paper is available online free of charge. Google "Lean Rind 2008" and then download the pdf version. The abstract by itself does not convey a complete sense of the paper - particularly the strong weight of evidence documenting a >90% predominance of anthropogenic carbon emissions in driving global warming, with no contributions to warming from solar variation in recent decades.

The Lean/Rind paper, available online (Google Lean Rind 2008) is one readers can judge for themselves rather than depending on misrepresentations made by some here. It confirms hundreds of previous reports documenting the predominance of human CO2 emissions in the past 100 years of warming, without recourse to models. This was already a settled issue, but confirmation is always welcome. (Finally, it does not, Gufpott, demand near instantaneous response to solar variation, as readers will see.)
