If you want to be technical about it, I was dismissing *you* as having recommended an irrelevant article. Now that you've explained that the real value is further in, I've gone back to see if he has anything to say after all. The section "Running the Numbers", about 65% of the way through, starts to be relevant and interesting. "A Step In the Right Direction" briefly refutes a statement by Richard Lindzen about sea temperatures (I haven't read Lindzen's paper here but Dutch is persuasive). And... that's it. Maybe six paragraphs in the whole thing not dealing with kooks and fools.
(Not that those kooks don't thoroughly deserve smacking-down. But I don't care about them and you're wasting my time by trying to make me read refutations of their arguments.)
