Oh My God! Can we have a conversation on climate change yes or no?

I vote "no" because its boring and the hypocrisy of sitting in from of computer while senselessly using natural resources to argue about the senseless use of natural resources is unbearable.

This versus this.

Richard Siegmund Lindzen (born February 8, 1940) is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry. He has published more than 200 scientific papers and books. From 1983[1] until his retirement in 2013, he was Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2] He was a lead author of Chapter 7, "Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks," of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Third Assessment Report on climate change. He has criticized the scientific consensus about climate change[3] and what he has called "climate alarmism."[4]

Have you been to grad school? If so then you understand how a thesis works. You are oddly dismissing the quality of this particular man's work, which I have seen no reason to be suspicious of, while simultaneously casting doubt over the whole institution. If this guy's Ph.D. is total rubbish, who's the say the other guys PhDs aren't as well?


Are you really so stupid that you didn't understand that Res Ipsa was saying "he published a couple of papers with contrarian theories" and not that he only published a couple of papers?

Ok, you're right. I'm sorry, DT. What I said was inappropriate. I pledge to play nice.

Please continue. Tell me about your equation.

Ever notice they always find that one guy who we're supposed to believe has it right and the thousands of others have it wrong? On gun studies their Lindzen is John Lott.

Are you done with the personal attacks? In your own words, what are the compelling arguments of Lindzen? Give me the details.

No, let's not change the subject. You were just saying something about an equation.... please continue. I did answer your question, after all. I want to hear more about delta F.

I am just someone that blindly follows the scientists. You do your own research. So, you tell me. What is the radiative forcing when the CO2 levels are 405 parts per million?

and please explain in your own words why Lindzen's arguments are so compelling.

Dude. You're the one that dropped that alphabet equation on us. Explain it. Otherwise you risk looking like a poseur.
