Hug & Barrett versus IPCC  (17 Dec 2001)  by Dr Heinz Hug (Germany) and Dr Jack Barrett (UK). The reaction of atmospheric gases to radiation lies at the very core of Greenhouse theory.  Hug & Barrett demonstrate that the IPCC has over-estimated the radiative effect of greenhouse gases by a factor of more than 3, due largely to the IPCC's failure to account for the spectral behaviour of water vapour.  `Open Review' here.

Carbon Dioxide Sink 1970-2000 and Model Projections to 2100: a Statistical Mass Transfer Analysis by Dr Jarl Ahlbeck (12 Mar 2001).  In this report it is shown that the UN- IPCC CO2 model gives exaggerated future CO2 concentrations for given emissions probably due to underestimating the sensitivity of the carbon sink flow rate to enhanced atmospheric CO2.

Carbon Model Calculations by Peter Dietze (31 Mar 2001). Carbon models lie at the heart of the IPCC predictions about future CO2 levels and future climate. But their numbers do not add up as demonstrated in this paper by Peter Dietze.   Open Review on Peter Dietze's paper.

Climate Change Skepticism Is A Noble Calling by  David Wojick (2 March, 2001)   In this short but incisive article, David Wojick explains the key role climate change sceptics have in the public policy process. For example, he states as a general `principle of assessment' - " When a body of science comes to have public policy implications it must undergo a higher level of scrutiny."

by Vincent Gray (8 May 00)

    Estimation of the Radiative Forcing for CO2 Doubling (16 Apr 00)  - Peter Dietze (Germany) uses HITRAN spectra and a simple atmospheric energy equilibrium model for re-radiation, replicating the new IPCC forcing. But vapour overlap curbs it to 1.9 W/m². The ground warming is by a factor 4 to 6 less than IPCC's 2.5 °C.
