It turns out… there is no feedback mechanism… Dr. Lindzen of MIT shows why and how:

I didn’t want to burden the in-flight WiFi watching the video, but the PDF at the link above is very readable.
Lindzen’s approach is to use the measured data versus the models. All the models do two things… they agree with each other but none agree with the measured data.
I’m all in favor of making us robust and climate proof. I think that means more capitalism, freedom and technology.

So please tell us again why the worlds glaciers are melting, if it’s not getting warmer?

I’ve no idea if glacier retreat is accellerating nor not. I don’t think it would be very susceptible to analysis because their locations are so extremely different from one another. But I believe it true that glaciers have been retreating for thousands of years. It is hard to get concerned about inches when they’ve retreated steadily and over hundreds of miles in some cases over thousands of years without modern humans around.
