Dude:

You're arguing with a bot.

A week ago, I promised myself I wouldn't get drawn in. grrr

FWIW, I know who you are and all I can say is that you can't win. These
guys are impervious to facts, logic, rational explanations, and reference
to peer-reviewed studies. D-RoidRage has used this argument track
before, with people who also know radiative transfer even, so it's not
that this hasn't been explained to him already. My best guess is that
he's either a cleverer perl script than C-babe, or his mindset is that he
absolutely cannot accept the consequences of climate change being true,
even though nobody will ever ask him to sacrifice anything so all he will
feel is a little guilt (and even then, not so much). But he's the
typical male who feels society is stacked against him so even feeling
guilt is too much to ask of him, so the idea of anthropogenically induced
cliamte change *has* to be false. But the only way it can be false is
for radiative transfer to be wrong, and if it weren't radiative transfer
he were going off on, it would be CO2 and how it was really coming out of
the ocean, not tailpipes and smokestacks (which would torque my hot
button so I'm kinda glad he's fixed on radiative transfer).

But I would bet on the clever perl script explanation, most of what he
says he's said before, almost verbatim.

Rock on!
