some of the posters on the skeptical side of the argument has turned into kneejerk Deniers. they spout illogical crap that simply makes no sense.
eg. I agree that the IPCC uses awkward language when they say back radiation heats the surface. the Sun heats the surface, the back radiation only reduces energy loss which indirectly heats the surface by changing the equilibrium. temperature is a function of both energy in and energy out. change either side and the temperature changes. that does not mean that the exaggerated feedback multipliers are valid.
the skeptical side has a hard enough job just trying to thwart the exaggerations of the warmers. when deniers act like idiots it paints the whole skeptical side as idiots, worthy of being ignored.
learn some science and make principled statements that can be logically defended, or just shut up and go back to name calling.
