Re: [Phys-l] Greenhouse

Having now had a chance to look at the commentary and the paper.  I agree with you, John.  This 
paper should never have made it through the peer review process.  As, I think, most of us know, the 
peer review process leaves a lot to be desired.  With this paper, people took the time to give this a 
proper review and posted their thoughtful comments online.  It would be nice if people also did this with 
the more standard climate science papers as well.  People tend to dismiss quickly anything that runs 
contrary to their opinion, rather than taking a closer look.
