That stuff up there, above your bit is called a scientifically made argument.
Those number things need a basic understanding of science to make sense to you.
The IPCC's reports are based upon the ideas posted by Longview. They also have a large positive forcing component by which a small initial warming is somehow magnified by other factors. This has not been shown and is at odds with the short term temperature records (going back 150 year max or so) and the evidence from longer term records from proxy sources.
It is generally the skeptics who have read the science and understand the difference between a Watt, a degree, a Joule and a rate of change.
I forgot about that. See the problem here is he took some numbers from the IPCC and then he drew conclusions himself from the data that are very different from the IPCC. I asked for backing of his conclusions and he responded by posting the source of the data which isn't in question.
