Early global warming says VV at VV. It is an interesting idea; if you haven't read his post you should. The AR5 radiative forcing graph he includes is interesting too:
I hadn't realised the forcing had grown much more strongly after 1950.

W00t, its the Big Fight, or at least its the spat du jour. Does anyone outside the little blogospheric circle care? My guess is no. As I said over at Timmy's recently, my personal "does-the-outside-world-give-a-shit-o-meter" (as applied to the latest septic nonsense to hit the blogospheric fan) is…
Turning aside from the moment from the strange world of Monkers we come to something that at least touches on science: to what extent did the atmospheric nuclear tests of the 50's and 60's affect the climate? It turns out that the answer is "hardly at all" and that the question isn't interesting;…
I'm not desperately interested in the "MOOC" on-line course thing, though I can see that I might be in future. I don't have a lot of spare time; for example the 2 hours I had free last night I spent running + recovering, not learning. But others do, and CIP has been talking to "the enemy" - i.e.…
Everyone else blogs about what they've read (everyone? Well, this is a blog, who cares about accuracy. Bryan does and I'm sure other people do to). And I happen to notice that my queue of books-I've-finished-reading looks quite good just now. Once upon a time (well, since my teens up to only a few…
Am I missing something?
I thought the growth in forcing due to aerosols (global dimming?) was obvious. Michael Mann said so in one of his articles, the concern is the reduction in coal-fired power production might accelerate global warming in the short term.
