It's an excellent series too, although some of the resulting comment posts (to parts 1 and 3) are soooo maddeningly/depressingly frustrating: "Could we be microwaving the water/ice off of the planet from power lines, cellphones, TV's, radio, etc.?" "I also recognize some of the same people pushing global warming on us in MSM are the same who gave us the lies about the GWOT and Iraq. The beneficiaries of carbon cap and trading in the war on climate change will be the same people who finance conventional wars." Sheesh, he's talking about electromagnetic radiation and black bodies and Wien's displacement, and this is the discourse he gets back????!!!<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, I think the effort is worth it. As more and more people find accessible ways to delve into the underlying science, the inanity of the denialist talking points becomes increasingly evident to more and more people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-11956917122699732282008-06-19T06:42:00.000-07:002008-06-19T06:42:00.000-07:00You have some typos in Part 3.

The "two layer" idea is very cool, it brings out the idea that most of the absorbed energy in the atmosphere never gets out.EliRabetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957002964638398767noreply@blogger.com
