>Interesting, but doesn't actually say anything about CO2.
No it doesn't William,
But I've come across Hoyt, and one of my 'local dolts'( who probably
got it off Hoyt) via Climate Science, The claim is that this explains
the recent warming and therefore means CO2 has nil/less than expected
effect.
To quote from Hoyt:
"It seems to me that Hansen and all the modelers are ignoring
observations that show that solar insolation at the Earth's surface
has increased dramatically in recent years. The papers by Palle et al.,
Pinker et al., Wielicki et al., and Wild et al. show that these
insolation increases are roughly ten times larger than the
corresponding insolation changes attributable to greenhouse gases. It
seems to me that these observations invalidate the models."
I still find people using the general curve of a logarithm (when they
should consider it's local behaviour) and waving 'Beer-Lambert' round
like a talisman to ward off any suggestion of warming by CO2. (One of
said people is "Associate Director of Research, Faculty of Science &
Technology Chair" at a British university!)
