Leading Climate Scientist admits climate models are bollox

As we have repeatedly been saying.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: James Hansen admits man-made global warming has been greatly exaggerated by climate models

You found an internet blog which references a non-peer-reviewed paper?

I love how when someone is on the warmist side you find ways to make out they're idiots, but when they switch sides suddenly they are "noted climate scientists".

[BlasterBates]

One of the marks of a failed theory is the constant need to find explanations as to why experimental results that don't match your predictions.

I preferred your first attempt.

Both sides to the debate, yes. But if your case is so strong then trawling random blogs for un-verified papers is beneath you.

[1105.1140] Earth's Energy Imbalance and Implications

Is Cornell University OK?

Second sentence of the abstract of the paper in question (PDF):

The inferred planetary energy imbalance, 0.59 ± 0.15 W/m2 during the 6-year period 2005-2010, provides fundamental verification of the dominant role of the human-made greenhouse effect in driving global climate change.

Kind of steps on your point doesn't it BB?

Good job it hasn't yet been peer-reviewed - you can use that as an excuse to claim it's rubbish, now it's been pointed out that it directly contradicts your position

In what way?

The models exaggerate global warming is the point.

Can you explain how the above statement contradicts it?

SSSsshhhht! If it's on the internet it must be true.

Find a creationist retired civil engineer who agrees, and then we can take it seriously.

One thing thats always puzzled me, is why the big emphasis on the atmospheric temperature ?

It's a bit like trying to work out the heat content of your bathroom whilst ignoring the temperature of the water in the bath. Surely its the heat content of the oceans that we should be looking at ? They must have more importance than a wisp of gas
