It says: <br />"Key Finding: This leads us to a curious position where we have had a larger change in forcing from water vapor since 1988 than from all the other IPCC-listed forcings since 1750."<br /><br />My initial thoughts are that an increase in water vapor is generally considered a feedback, not a forcing and that everyone knows that it is larger than direct forcing. I.e., what's actually curious about this result? It seems completely inline with all other evidence. <br /><br />Also, regarding the text from the press release you quoted; where did they get the "little corresponding change in temperature" from? Little change in temps since 1988? Good grief!<br /><br />Kevin O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751040367339659805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-64187252504924407472016-12-15T04:23:56.781+11:002016-12-15T04:23:56.781+11:00Willard/Willis have issued a press release:

That includes last year when he had a poster too.<br /><br />This year I'm not sure. He said he's getting free beer this year, which might mean he actually paid the registration fee - or his fans did on his behalf.<br /><br />He wants to be both, I suppose. He has no reporting skills nor any scientific acumen, so he's facing an uphill battle.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-34832716262674225342016-12-13T20:09:13.966+11:002016-12-13T20:09:13.966+11:00Sou - Surely Anthony is passing himself off as a &...Sou - Surely Anthony is passing himself off as a "scientist" rather than "press"?<br /><br />Rather than bleating about RSS temperature this time around the Willard/Willis poster reveals an increase in total precipitable water.
