front page news?

C'mon now, you're giving the press far too much credibility here.

Though this was relevant and gave me a chuckle at the same time.

"On the Misdiagnosis of Surface Temperature Feedbacks from Variations in Earth’s Radiant Energy Balance"

http://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/3/8/1603/pdf

For the TLDR crowd: This is a paper published by a peer-reviewed journal (some people care about this) by a former NASA climatologist. It essentially suggests that as the world warms it also sheds heat at a faster rate than what is predicted by climate change models. This means that the dire and sesationalist warming predictions used by governments to support major socio and economic overhauls may be miss placed.

Just a thought for the scientific consensus crowd.

Thread is doomed. No point in activating relevant neurons in the hope of intelligent exchange of interesting but diverse ideas. IBTL, goodbye.
