Is the effect of Carbon Dioxide on temperature logarithmic?
Warmers talk incessantly, and catastrophically, about the need to reduce greenhouse gases. If the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rise, so does the temperature, and soon enough we will all die, they say. But what would happen if the reverse were to occur? What if we were too successful at reducing greenhouse gases? Can we actually calculate the correct amount by which to reduce, and what would happen to temperatures? Would a 1% reduction in CO2, for example, reduce temperatures by 1%.

If only Global Warming were dinosaur science…
It’s obvious where this is leading. Not to science, but to anecdotal “evidence.” Frank goes on about what his friend is telling him about disappearing this and that. And then laments on how Climategate has stopped science in its tracks.

Where has all the carbon gone?
Carbon is going missing. We know to a reasonable approximation how much carbon is being emitted to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel and land use changes.

Seems Britain’s Chief Scientist, Professor John Beddinggon has a “slight” conflict of interest according to the Times Online: THE government’s chief scientist [...]
