Abstract: The dinosaurs lived when the average global temperature was 6ºC to 10ºC warmer than it is now, so you might think that there has been some climate change since that time. According to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), you would be wrong.

Abstract: The Stefan-Boltzmann (S-B) law gives the relationship between temperature and infrared radiation for planetary bodies. If researchers do not apply it when making predictions about increasing Earth’s temperature, they are negligent. A science journal refereed or not, that published the model result without that calculation is also negligent. Suffice it to say that the IPCC has never—repeat NEVER—applied the S-B law to their predicted temperatures.

Abstract: Starting with a supposition by Fourier in 1827 that atmospheric gases might trap heat from the sun, scientists in the 19th century experimentally investigated the notion that H2O and CO2 were the important heat-trapping gases.
Other 19th-century measurements were also important. The law of conservation of energy said that the heat absorbed from the sun must equal the amount of heat radiated to space, but how could anything be measured?
