From a purely engineering analysis stand point one could consider the entire earth as a control volume. Within that control volume there are huge amounts of energy stored in carbon being released as heat energy. This added heat release will reach some equilibrium where an increased temperature inside the control volume will result in an increased heat loss to space (Q~ A*Delta T). Ergo there has to be some increase of temperature within the control volume. The simple point is that at some increased Delta T - there will be an equilibrium. I also note that any radiation loss is based on T to the fourth power. T4 is a powerful number for heat loss to space.

Ergo there is by definition some increase in temperature within the control volume. Similarly - by definition - when that increase is such that Q in = Q out a new equilibrium is reached. The alarmists will have us believe that the Delta will simply spiral upwards. I ain't buying it.

The alarmists claim science as their virtue and claim we deniers are Luddites. When I am confronted by scare mongers who are demonstrated liars - my antenna for fraud go into hyper mode. There is too much money in being a believer. LOL - I hear that the sequester is impacting grants for science. I sure as hell hope they start with cutting the AGW profiteers.
