Kevin:      Here are the questions you still need to answer (in baseball 
terms you are batting "000" so far).

    a1.  Do you really believe these two have the proper credentials to be 
believed (meaning peer-reviewed climate material in recognized journals).
    a2.  What is there possible in their backgrounds to make you offer them 
as experts on climate hoaxes?
    a3.  How did you find their work? (what Google terms did you use in your 
search?)

    b1. What did you do to check out the validity of Miskolczi's theory?
   b2.  Where did you come upon his name and why do you trust that source, 
if different from "landshape"?

 c1.   How did you check out this story?
 c2.  Do you believe that the Gregory paper's main theme - that solar input 
is important - is not recognized by all climate modelers?
 c3.  And that all IPCC models include even the smallest known annual solar 
variations?
 c4.  If you believe the Gregory conclusion is new - and has adequately 
compared the incremental influence of CO2 (30+% increase in 50 or so 
years) - please give a citation or two.

d1.  What was I supposed to learn from this citation, not already covered by 
your #3 cite?

List:   My apologies for not answering a few new questions from Kevin in his 
message from about an hour ago - but I think I made my request to Kevin 
clear enough.  I found no new information in that message to change my 
opinion that Kevin's climate-denier perspective has caused him to not think 
through what he is saying.  If I believed cooling was likely, I might share 
some of his views on charcoal-using stoves.  But Kevin also is not 
understanding the health issues (he hasn't read anything by Kirk Smith) and 
he doesn't understand efficiency and forest depletion (that a tree can serve 
three-four times as many families using wood-burning stoves as that tree can 
serve those with a charcoal-using stove.)
