Our main scientific effort continues to be the exploration and expansion of our database and the results of our temperature analysis.
Less so about Lomborg, not converting, because he has always been AGW - lite, but uping the ante, as it were; this new desire to spend completely contradicts his conclusions in his 2nd book, Cool It, at page 41, Figure 11, where Lomborg compares, in a cost / benefit analysis, all the various approaches to dealing with AGW; the most sensible, in that it is the only one in which the money worth of the benefits exceeds the costs, is option 1, the optimal, that is, doing nothing; the other options have a progressively worse cost / benefit ratio as the effort to «solve» AGW increases with the worse being an attempt to keep temperature increase to 1.5 C above what it is now which would cost $ A 85 TRILLION and have benefits worth $ A 11 TRILLION.
They simply think that science has utterly failed to produce the correct answer on everything from basic thermodynamics to analysis of temperature station data, that scientists chase research grant money by producing answers useful for the expansion of government power, that every single mechanism intended to prevent corruption and fraud has failed and of course that scientists are individually and collectively involved in a conscious effort to lie to the public.
In brief, Mann, in an effort to show that 20th century temperature increases are unprecedented and therefore more likely to be due to mankind, created an analysis quoted all over the place (particularly by Al Gore) that says that from the year 1000 to about 1850, the Earth's temperature was incredibly, unbelievably stable.
The NASA temperature analysis map above should make clear where the climate engineers are most focused in their efforts to create a «cool down».
IMO, the effort should be transferred from discussing temperatures ad nauseam (which is only relevant to reducing the uncertainty in just one of the four key inputs to cost - benefit analyses) to working on a robust policy — i.e. a «no regrets» policy (one that will cut global GHG emissions at no cost or negative cost).
I'd rather see Steve McI's efforts go towards producing his own temperature analysis and get this published in the peer reviewed literature.
To name but a few instances, his detailed studies of temperature data; his reviews of infrared spectroscopy and his associated analysis of atmospheric greenhouse gas physics; and his examination of the carbon cycle — all proved crucial for the research efforts which followed.
