Todd, I think I stepped in something here. I don't agree 100% with Kens explanation. But, he does address how heat energy absorbed by the Earth can vary due to green house gasses. I'm stepping away from this one if it turns confrontational. It's not worth the time and ENERGY and I'm sorry if there was a misunderstanding. Mike

If you went back to the post, my statements only relay that just because someone says that they're freezing their tuckas off more than they ever have before at one geographic location doesn't mean that the world isn't warming. It also implies that the human tuckas is not much of an indicator of actual temperature. Nor is the barometer that rests on the shoulders of the person who relies on their tuckas as an absolute indicator. Just because I don't choose to lay out a step-by-step, "Ned and the Primer" explanation of the total picture - both causes and effects - everytime a denialist raises his head doesn't mean that there is any lack of understanding of the mechanisms, contributors and consequences. I take it you didn't go to the web addy that was provided in the post? http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0130-11.htm It made note of how one of the consequences of global warming could all too likely be global cooling.
