The 2 Good Greenhouse Gas III (Looking Up)
We have been looking down so far. What happens when you stand on the ground and point a spectrometer up? Interesting things. In the CO2 bands around wave number 667 a spectrometer pointed up from the ground sees radiation at … Continue reading
The 2 Good Greenhouse Gas II
When show a Carbonist that there is no evidence of CO2 causing significant “global” warming at any scale from deep time to the last 35 years as we did in the last post, they usually look at you funny and say, … Continue reading

Much Ado About Noses II
We left off the nose theme with the quandary that the surface temperatures as measured about the height of the human nose in places humans frequent on the planet differs significantly in trend from measurements by satellite of various levels of … Continue reading
Pressure Broadening
In a recent blog post Dr. Roy Spencer took the skeptical community to task for a list of arguments he considers to lack merit. One of these was the argument that the CO2 absorption bands are saturated. He stated that … Continue reading
Everyone Loves Lists, Should We Worry or Not?
Take a big leap back in time. It is 1974, forty years ago. The planet has been cooling for thirty years. There is very real concern about this. The Pentagon is making Ice Age contingency plans. The scientific community is agnostic. … Continue reading
