I was reading a blog entry on Kate's blog.

Quote:
New research
...concludes that the Earth’s climate is only about one-third as sensitive to carbon dioxide as the IPCC assumes. [...]

According to Schwartz’s results, which are based on the empirical relationship between trends in surface temperature and ocean heat content, doubling the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere would result in a 1.1oC increase in average temperature (0.1–2.1oC, two standard deviation uncertainty range). Schwartz’s result is 63% lower than the IPCC’s estimate of 3oC for a doubling of CO2 (2.0–4.5oC, 2SD range).

Here is another one that even uses Stephen E. Schwartz's paper:
http://www.biocab.org/Heat_Stored.html

Near the bottom, it has these two conclusions:

"0.2 K/s is merely 0.93% (not even the 1%) from the difference of temperature between the ground and the air, which was 21.8 K. As we can see, carbon dioxide is not able to cause the anomalies of temperature that have been observed on Earth."

and

"It is evident that the water vapor is a better absorber-emitter of heat than carbon dioxide. In the same conditions, the water vapor transfers 949 times more heat than the carbon dioxide."

It is being discussed over at climate audit.
