Evidence for Negative Water Feedback

Abstract: Positive linear climate feedback for combined water effects is shown to be incompatible with the Faint Sun Paradox. In particular, feedback values of ~2.0 W/m2K-1 favored by current GCM models lead to non physical results at solar radiation levels … Continue reading

Desert Nights, Magic and Global Warming

We all know the theory. The average temperature of the Earth would  only be about 6 degrees C. if it had no atmosphere. This temperature can be derived from Stefan Boltzman’s law assuming that the Earth is a perfect Black … Continue reading
