That is such a silly article. J Storrs Hall has a PHD in computer science from Rutgers. That is very impressive, but not very relevant to atmospheric chemistry.
Just because one has a PHD in computer science would we let him perform brain surgery?
Understanding global warming is like brain surgery. It is very complicated, specific, and involves a science far removed from computer science.
To best understand global warming one should have training in atmospheric chemistry, not computer science. J Storrs, starts by pointing out everything we read is not true (duh) and then takes some arbitrary figures and acts like any fool can see we don't really need to worry about global warming anytime soon.
Of course Storrs had no credentials to make such a claim.
As mentiond prviosly, my son in law, by chance, has a PHD in atmospheric chemistry, and has studied global warming as a full time job for over a decade at major north western universities. He also recently received an award for discovering how formaldahyde forms in the atmosphere and was invited to Vienna to present his research.
When I mention articles like the one above downplaying man made global warming to him he says: "there are a zillion of them and his colleagues pay no attention to them. He says "global warming scentists are pretty sure of their data.
And does anyone really think the primary atmospheric chemists in the world would overlook such pedistrian ideas?
People who want to know about brain surgery study books written by brain surgeons, not comuter scientists; and people who want to know about global warming would be wise to read books written by atmospehric scientists, not computer scientists!
