These people are discussing facts, that has nothing to do with Gorebal Warming.
Does a Global Temperature Exist

Physical, mathematical and observational grounds are employed to show that there is no physically meaningful global temperature for the Earth in the context of the issue of global warming. While it is always possible to construct statistics for any given set of local temperature data, an infinite range of such statistics is mathematically permissible if physical principles provide no explicit basis for choosing among them. Distinct and equally valid statistical rules can and do show opposite trends when applied to the results of computations from physical models and real data in the atmosphere. A given temperature field can be interpreted as both "warming" and "cooling" simultaneously, making the concept of warming in the context of the issue of global warming physically ill-posed.
Apparently there's a little problem with the proper units to use in the Stefan-Boltzmann equation, and the reviewers didn't notice it. Anonymous at 12:15 AM really goes to town.
So simple a cave man could understand it! Great explanation. Thanks for posting it.
