But what with evidence somewhat lacking on positive CO2 feed backs, the present temperature plateau continuing, model projections of warming way out with observation, the analogy appears a bit, well, Ehrlichean, seems to me.And then there's the bleeding of economies by costs of CO2 reduction measures and subsidizing ineffectual, (evidence indicates even un-environmental) renewable energy policies, no gain for lotsa» pain.

On the other hand the projected positive feedbacks you support, which are COMPLETELY theoretical, depend on the LEAST understood aspects of the affect of water vapor and cloud formation, so the strong feedbacks PROJECTED are the least dependable, while the «OBSERVATIONS» used by Lindzen, Spencer, and others, support the lower estimates of climate sensitivitOn the other hand the projected positive feedbacks you support, which are COMPLETELY theoretical, depend on the LEAST understood aspects of the affect of water vapor and cloud formation, so the strong feedbacks PROJECTED are the least dependable, while the «OBSERVATIONS» used by Lindzen, Spencer, and others, support the lower estimates of climate sensitiviton the LEAST understood aspects of the affect of water vapor and cloud formation, so the strong feedbacks PROJECTED are the least dependable, while the «OBSERVATIONS» used by Lindzen, Spencer, and others, support the lower estimates of climate sensitivity.

What they don't say is that this point on its own is responsible for half the warming projected in the models, and hence that after twenty years of trying to reconcile the models and observations it's past time they turfed the models and trashed the assumption that humidity will cause monster positive feedback.

These and other observations can be integrated into a model with feedbacks and having two unstable end ‐ points that is consistent both with classical studies of past climate states, and also with recent analysis of ice dynamics in the Arctic basin by Zhakarov, whose oscillatory model identifies feedback mechanisms in atmosphere and ocean, both positive and negative, that interact in such a manner as to prevent long ‐ term trends in either ice ‐ loss or ice ‐ gain on the Arctic Ocean to proceed to an ultimate state.

The fact of the matter is that IPCC has relied in AR4 on models, which assume a strongly positive net feedback from clouds, while subsequent physical observations show that the primary impact of clouds with warming is increased albedo and higher SW reflection resulting in an overall negative cloud feedback.

Spencer + Braswell showed, based on CERES observations, that the net feedback from clouds with warming temperature over the tropics was negative, instead of positive as estimated earlier by the IPCC models while conceding «cloud feedbacks remain the largest source of uncertainty»

So, we have reasonable constraints that suggest the feedbacks are net positive (amplifying), observations / theory / models that explain the bulk of that effect and remaining uncertainties on one (key) part of it.

If however you could make a positive suggestion as to alternative mechanism to account for observations then that would be welcome but I hold out no hope of that because you don't even accept that the observations do differ from what we would expect from internal system variability on it's own.
