Dear Dr Lindzen ,

 I just read your note on  http://lomberg.org  in reply to
 the apparently sadly bias Scientific American article 
 following links from Victor Niederhoffer's Libertarian
 Junto here in NYC .

 I've addressed this note to you because you are just up
 the road in Boston , and Lomberg has no email address
 on his site .

 Frankly , I fail to understand how any change in albedo
 or insulative properties can change the mean temperature
 of a radiantly heated sphere -- at all .
 Only direct creation of heat can change its equilibrium
 with its surroundings .

 It should be simple to point out how I am misunderstanding
 what I find now is called "the 0th law of thermodynamics"
 if I am . 
 
 I would appreciate any links to enlightenment on this
 subject .

 The link to my own thoughts on this , is :

 Thank you for your insights ,
