I love how interested you are in this and your desire to work this out from first principles. I say the equation is not appropriate for the same reason we're having this discussion on the residence time of CO2, particularly anthropogen

Anthropogenic CO2. I thought that was apparent. Naturally emitted CO2 emissions are relatively constant and balanced over the last several hundred years, anthropogenic CO2 is not. Therefore as we continue to produce excess CO2 which cannot

"I'm not sure why you rush to dimiss me like that." Perhaps you should re-read how you dismissed what I put forward and you will understand the favor I returned with supporting evidence and perhaps too much snark. This commen

It's obvious you never even considered reading the article: Barrett and Gast published a letter in Science in 1971 entitled simply 'Climate Change'. The journal 'Climatic Change' was created in 1977 (and is still p

" i don't disagree that the planet is warming. i'm just skeptical that an increase in co2 is the main culprit." What if you were shown the science behind the lagging you speak of? Also, what do you propose is the main cu
