CO2 Cannot be Blamed for Global Warming

GloWarming Skeptics: CO2 Cannot be Blamed for Global Warming
According to the laws of thermodynamics, the mid to upper levels of the troposphere should be warming faster then the surface. This is because this is where the CO2 is supposed to be trapped. Co2 absorbs more heat then it reflects. Since it retains its heat, the area in which it is “trapped” has to be warming faster then an area where it is not “trapped.”

This has not happened. According to the data available from NOAA (The National Weather Service) the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere have not seen a dramatic warming.

Tom, you are one of the best scientists with whom I have the honor of corresponding on matters such as IBWP's and Global Climate.

cheers,

Phil

Keep up the good work.

Yikes! We really don't know enough about global climate to speak with authority about global warming.
