You go look them up. I'm not doing your job for you.

Who gives a care? I was firmly skeptical about AGW even before I heard about Lord Monckton.

Nice display of scientific ignorance, Neil. Maybe you should keep quiet about things you don't know about... Like the Moon, for instance. (daytime mean surface temperature is 107 C, or 225 F).

And how do you KNOW this? It sounds more like another article of faith that you hold.

Here's a question that you're not qualified to even look up the answer to, Neil. What is the principal greenhouse gas in Earth's atmosphere? I will give you a hint - it is not carbon dioxide.

Really? Then show me the direct correlation, Neil. Don't show me temperature graphs that go on for thousands or millions of years. BTW, show me something that counteracts THIS graph.
