The CERES satellite data shows CO2 doesn't have any significant effect on the warming rate of the earth, but it's nice they corroborated the finding another way. It's comforting that there multiple ways to demonstrate CO2 isn't hurting us at all. Quite the contrary.

What's interesting is that the optimal level of radiation for humans is not zero. There are health benefits to a low level of radiation. It appears to be similar to almost everything else: a little is okay (even beneficial), too much is not.

Hydrogen is rather difficult to handle, but it behaves a lot better if you connect the hydrogen to some carbon. Very high energy density, but relatively safe to handle. Hydrocarbons are excellent at storing energy. We should use more.

I know why. The temperature at the equator is quite stable, so warming poles mean a smaller differential between the poles and the equator. This means less energy moving from the equator to the poles. This means less extreme weather. It's all about energy flow.

The satellite data shows that 15 years of CO2 emissions has no discernible effect on the energy imbalance, and therefore the equilibrium temperature. The Earth is doing what it wants to do, and there isn’t much that CO2 can do about it.

"Climate" is normally defined as a 30 year average of weather trends. While some look out the window and see weather, thinking it's climate change, others look at longterm data and so no crisis whatsoever. It's just people scaring other people to make money.

It is important to note that the Schwarzschild equation does not include the counterbalancing effects of the clouds. The clouds appear to strongly suppress variations to the energy imbalance. CO2 *can* warm, but it doesn't appear to anymore.
