Hi Hilmar,
I have done extensive reading on the subject, and I am fully aware of the assumptions they have made and also the skew they they put into their models to get the results they want, this is driven by their need for funding.

The thing that concerns me is that, if actions are taken to correct the problem using data from their skewed models the results could be far worse than the problem itself. Time will tell.

Because the "greenhouse effect" is the central point of the argument; not thermodynamics, or heat capacity.
