Ridiculous report

I'm sorry but the findings of this report are just not true. Firstly the mechanism for 'greenhouse warming' is simple and thermodynamically sound. Electromagnetic radiation enters the atmosphere. Some is reflected back into space, the rest is absorbed and turned into heat energy. Some things are simply better absorbers of heat, while other things, such as polar ice, better reflecters. I haven't studied the absorption characteristics of carbon dioxide since I was at school, but there's nothing fancy here, it's basic stuff.

As far as measuring average temperatures there's many ways this could be done. I don't know precisely how quoted temperatures are being validated, but it's not rocket science. Not only that there are many means of cross-correlating readings. Finally, you must surely be aware of the retreat of polar ice in the last 50 years, and if it's not rising temperature thats doing that then atmospheric pressure must be increasing at an enormously worrying rate!
