Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

smoke would cause cooling, as would mirrors unless they were carefully aimed :)
And, that thread is less stupid than most over at Tallboke's.
For example, in this thread http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/stephen-wilde-the-myth-of-backradiation/ , we learn that "Applying the Ideal Gas Law it is more likely that they [GHGs] cause an expansion of the atmosphere, a change in the environmental lapse rate and no change in surface temperature." (Apparently, the fact that the ideal gas law explains warming without invoking GHGs is so obvious that all one had to do is say the words "ideal gas law" and it is demonstrated without ever having to...well... demonstrate it.)
And, then in this thread http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/hans-jelbring-stefan-boltzmann-law-and-the-construction-of-a-perpetuum-mobile/ , Hans Jelbring demonstrates that he doesn't know about the Lambertian distribution of radiation from a blackbody surface and has, at least so far, resisted all attempts by Nick Stokes to explain it to him!
...all one had to do is say the words "ideal gas law" and it is demonstrated without ever having to...well...
That's why it's called the ideal gas law. It's like "all purpose seasoning," good for pizza, chile, whatever. Just sprinkle some on and it's good.
Hold up there! the skepticalists also have the adiabatic lapse rate! you always forget the adiabatic rate.
The thing about Tattersall is that he admits right from the off (in his about section) that he's brain damaged.
Anybody who takes his preferred estimations of reality in any way seriously after that admission deserves, well , what they see on his site, essentially.
