“The Heartland Institute portrayed Dr. Soon as a martyr.

‘He’s a brilliant and courageous scientist devoted entirely to pursuing scientific knowledge,’ the organization’s president, Joseph Bast, said this week in a statement. ‘His critics are all ethically challenged and mental midgets by comparison.’ ”

Skull? You meek the famous hominid fossil?

“I was a bit surprised that only now has someone actually measured whatever it is they are actually measuring.”

That is because you are not paying attention enough. The greenhouse effect has already been measured directly, but not *on the ground itself*.

Also, correlations are just that, correlations, without a causational explanation. That causational explanation we have for CO2 and the earth’s temperature.

I was expecting denialists to express the surprise you just expressed. That is why I included quite a bit of information in that post about how this has actually been measured before.

There is nothing “countering the force.” Warming as expected is continuing apace. Do read what I sent you (and links therein) before further commenting on that. You simply don’t have the information you need to have an informed conversation.

Michael 2, it is a term that identifies you as a science denier. You do know that, right?

Meanwhile go read this: http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2015/03/01/linking-co2-to-global-warming/

There really is no way to interpret the evidence in a way that does not indicate more current and future warming, unless you want to lie to yourself.
