Physicist says fossil fuel burning is insignificant in the global carbon pool

Absorption of heat by the atmosphere simply creates a heatsink that moderates the difference between day and night temps.

This is not a greenhouse effect.

[SteamShovel]

the total amount of post-industrial fossil fuel burned to date (and expressed as kilograms of carbon) represents less than 1% of the global bio-available carbon pools

THIS is the answer to the primary question I have been asking since the beginning and NOBODY in the scientific community bothered to attempt to answer it until now.

Thank you Dr!

My point being, from the posts so far, is that slight fluctuations in solar activity can have larger implications on the energy that reaches the Earth, and by extension, global temperatures as well.

I replied accordingly in your original ping on Holdren. As for this professor he has decided to put his reputation on the line and start to speak up against the AGW crowd with verifiable facts.
