No disagreement from me, the push to reduce CO2 is counter productive in all areas as all it does is misuse scarce resources to no real purpose.

How Does A Glass Greenhouse Work?
Basic science at work here, the science of the earths temperature is some what different and is not a true greenhouse effect as just described. There is a warming effect its just based on different principles.
Greenhouses receive solar radiation through the glass. Essentially all of that energy has to escape back out of the greenhouse. The only place for it to escape is back out through the glass.
Heat flow between two points is proportional to the temperature difference, and also proportional to the thermal conductivity. The glass has low thermal conductivity, so the temperature inside the greenhouse has to rise to keep the heat flowing out at the same rate it is coming in – creating a large temperature drop across the quarter inch of glass.
Without the glass, the heat would escape much more efficiently, and the temperature would be lower. The energy flow through the system is the same with or without the glass, but the temperature is higher with the glass in place.
Paul Driessen teams up with David Legates, great meteorologist
The IPCC climate the climate models (GCM’s) in the most recent report AR5 indicates that global temperatures should be about .5 degrees higher than they really are.
That is like a local weatherperson saying it was going to be 80 degrees F in Minneapolis this December. Give me a break they have no clue as to what is going on.

Good and informative summary but a bit technical for a lat person!
If The Facts Don’t Fit The Theory, Change The Facts
Sadly by doing the manipulation which that are the politicians and there (bought) scientists are corrupting the public’s view of what use to be an honorable profession.
Einstein joked :
If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.
He was mocking fake scientists who tamper with data, like the ones in the US government which create fake temperature graphs.
The White House is engaged in a big push to create an imaginary “climate legacy” for the narcissistic in chief. Actual temperatures provide no support for the agenda, so NCDC simply makes up fake data. They show US temperatures for October as 4th warmest since 1895
Their own thermometer data shows nothing of the sort. October temperatures in the US haven’t warmed since 1895, and this past October was unremarkable. The animation below alternates between NCDC measured and reported temperatures. Note how they bumped October 2014 up a full degree.
Do they actually believe that all of their observers were reading temperatures a degree too low in October 2014? That isn’t even remotely credible. Te next graph…

Roy Spencer asks the reasonable question–how does warming cause colding?
They could also listen to W. Edward Deming, “In God we trust all other (must) bring data.”
Or how does warming cause more snow or the polar vortex or more polar ice?

The Region of Unusual Sea Level Rise East of the Philippines Contributes Only a Little to the Global Rate
Good analysis but I would expect nothing less here!
About That “97% Science Is Settled” Meme … Never Mind
Personally I think is less than 50% but 50% is way more accurate that 97% In poles the question format is very important and so without seeing the details all I can say is that its in the right direction!
Only 50% Of Scientists Blame Mankind For Climate Change In New Study
” Rather than claiming 97 percent of scientists believe in man-made global warming, hopefully now some media outlets will revise that number closer to 50 percent.
Contrary to the repeated insistence of both climate alarmists and the media, scientists do not all agree on the standard climate alarmism talking points. A Purdue University scholar, surveying scientists in the agricultural sector including climatologists, found surprising disagreement on humanity’s role in climate change. These findings, though contrary to popular narrative on climate change, are unsurprising to anyone familiar with the prevalence of dissent in the scientific community.
Linda Prokopy, a Professor of Natural Resource Social Science at Purdue University, surveyed more than six thousand farmers and scientists and found widespread disagreement on human contributions to climate change. While 90 percent of scientists and climatologists surveyed thought the…

Proper Use Of Principles
Greenhouse gases are “real” the only issue is what the real sensitivity value is? Hansen and the IPCC think it is 3.0 degrees C per doubling and more current work supports that it is less that half that value (I agree with the half crowd). If the half group is right than the entire concept goes away!
The principle is :
Heat can only flow from a warmer place to a cooler place
The heat source is the sun. The sun irradiates the the Earth’s surface. As a first order principle, all of this heat has to return to space.
One of the things controlling the temperature is the efficiency of the atmosphere at returning the heat to space. If the atmosphere completely blocked the passage of heat, the earth’s surface would keep heating from solar radiation and get extremely hot. If the atmosphere provided no resistance to the passage of heat, the temperature would be cold.
Greenhouse gases are one of the factors which influence the atmosphere’s efficiency at returning the sun’s heat to the upper atmosphere, and thus help regulate the temperature of the atmosphere.
The heat source is the sun. Greenhouse gases are part of the thermostat. An increase in greenhouse gases will tend to raise…

Men Are From Mars – Climate Scientists Are From Venus
Its my understanding that Hansen’s climate change theories are based on his work that height Carbon Dioxide levels on Venus are the sole reason that Venus is so hot (not with standing that hot women are cool) and that he translated that into the situation here on earth. Its also my understanding that the upper atmosphere where this “heat” was supposed to appear isn’t getting hot; so that would seem to me to dis create the whole concept?
Climate scientists blame the high temperatures on Venus on the greenhouse effect.
Given that Venus surface receives very little sunlight, and that nights there are months long with no drop in temperature, it is absurd to compare the Venusian climate to a greenhouse.
Venus has a similar lapse rate to Earth, despite a very different atmospheric composition. This shows that the lapse rate is due to the pressure gradient, not the atmospheric composition.
