So if Lindzen thinks as you think he does -- and I believe what you wrote is reasonably accurate -- I have strong confidence, at or above the 90% level, that he's basically wrong. And I've shown just one of many reasons why.
Does your 90% confidence in the IPCC allow for you to explain why for the past 6 or 7 years why there has been no appreciable continuation of the warming trend? And I base this upon GISS, NOAA and IPCC data. Any graph, even of surface temperatures, that you want to look at (if it is current up to 2007) show a plateau was reached by around 2001. This is the longest lasting stable period since the recent warming apparently began (assuming UHI isn't a big factor). Can we blame this on sulfate aerosols this time? There have been no big volcanic eruptions in this period. CO2 continues to go up rapidly over this 6 year period.

Maybe you should look at post 198 again. I see no appreciable plateau.
