David Evans falls off the Global Warming Woo Wagon too!

Huh. I thought this was reasonably well established. I still have a lot to learn.

Clearly, trends in solar radiation matter (although the magnitude of those trends is still being revised), but if the 11-year cycle is so important, why is it so hard to see in plots of global temp vs. solar irradiance? Some say that it is swamped by the noise in the system. Exactly.

The Real Manhatten Project certainly exposed the broad-church nature of this particular cult. It's a rainbow-alliance. From the "it's not happening" through "it's not science" through to "the sensitivity is exaggerated". The saner voices are all being heard at the "sensitivity" end these days. Even Monckton's Embarrassment is about sensitivity.

(The Real Manhattan Project because it really happened in Manhattan, and it was really important. Simply everybody was there, even Viscount Munchkin. Not Steve McIntyre, of course; far too vulgar. Probably wears an off-the-rack suit .)

You don't see them telling the many who still question if CO2 is even a GHG or not that it is, and that it causes warming. They are still quite happy to accomodate them. Helps build the numbers and the noise, I guess, which is all you have to do if all you want is to create a climate of doubt.
