Greenhouse effect? Yawn.

Have a nice day,

PS: My reply to the article [brief version]
Thanks John. That was an excellent interview [because he agrees with me]. They missed out on a few topics though.

My favourite is the speed of onset of a glaciation. My theory is that it's a two year phenomenon with a vast feedback loop accelerating the process in subsequent years due to dramatically increasing snow cover as the permafrost line moves towards the equator and the surface area of the Earth covered in snow increases and the intensity of the sun reflected increases.

5 degrees latitude at the Arctic circle is a small amount of land and sea. 5 degrees latitude near the Mediterranean is a LOT of land. The amount of sun incident near the Arctic circle is small. The amount of sun incident on the Mediterranean latitude is large.

As the greenery of the temperate climates is buried in snow, and dark blue ocean is turned white with ice, heat absorption dramatically decreases and reflected radiation increases.

The underlying principle to the whole business is that all the fossil hydrocarbons and coal used to be alive and kicking. They have gradually been stripped out of the atmosphere and buried permanently [until people came along]. Earth is being returned to its natural lively state, before the ice age began due to lack of carbon in the biosphere.
