In a study sure to ruffle the feathers of the Global Warming cabal, Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT has published a paper which proves that IPCC models are overstating by 6 times, the relevance of CO2 in Earth’s Atmosphere. Dr. Lindzen has found that heat is radiated out in to space at a far higher rate than any modeling system to date can account for.

Algore and his minions are not going to like this. I bet the good professors job is in jeopardy.
Surprise, surprise? Not.
Ping.
Poor Algore. His hoax and scam is in ashes. I hope he didn’t already start spending all the money he thought he was going to make.
Global Warming Logic:
1) Firemen are observed at every house fire.
therefore
2) Firemen cause all house fires.
The debate is between collectivists and those who oppose them - of course CO2 has no relevance to the discussion.
Heads will explode! Computer models at work - Garbage in = Garbage out, simple as that.
I've essentially been saying this for years. Can I have a job with tenure too, now?
Lindzen has tenure. OTOH he is 69, and I'm sure some at MIT might be willing to "encourage" him to retire.
Excellent, another great kick in the seat to global warming supporters.
Just know that compared to earth, space (the further you move out of Earth’s “atmosphere”) is a near vacuum and a vacuum is “cold” (energy density weak).
Heat, in truth does not “rise”, what it really does is: “heat moves toward cold”.
So, with an energy density (warm) atmosphere, IT IS ONLY NATURAL that the higher that energy density gets (warmer) the more of what creates that density (heat) will move toward the vacuum of space.
Yes the atmosphere may be “warmer” but a warmer atmosphere is also releasing more heat away as well, not simply retaining all the “additional” heat, but actually releasing more than if it were cooler.
But, regardless, as these great guys at MIT are proving, in spite of the “insulation” factor (green house affect) that CO2 provides, it is too small to counter the co-factors of the Sun plus the dynamic Earth-Sun orbital relationship; the things that can create warming and cooling trends, regardless of Earth’s “green house” gases.

Hmmm...stay at Holiday Inn last night?
The good professor better hire a few guards and wear a bullet proof vest.
He’s taking money right out of AlGore’s pocketbook.
Of course it is radiation that removes heat from the Earth, since heat can not be removed to space by convection or conduction (since there is no matter in space to conduct to). The warm Earth radiates in all directions, but the little of the radiation that heads outward to space gets reabsorbed by the atmosphere before it escapes.
But no sense dealing in facts.
Lets just bow down to socialistic Goronomics.
Of course liberals ignore actual data and continue to believe in their junk science.
Bet he’s on the top of the Nobel list..
NOT!
