The Lindzen paper you refer to certainly seems convincing on the surface. His major claim is contested, however. For example, see here: http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/index.php/csw/details/maccracken_on_lindzen/ (paragraphs numbered 12 and 13 are most relevant). That link is mainly concerned with refuting Lindzen's newsweek op-ed. The question is this: if Lindzen wants his research, such as the paper you refer to, to be taken seriously, why does he write things, such as that op-ed, that are so full of holes?
I was unable to access your reference on the satellite temperature data. I will try to find it another way later, although I must express serious skepticism concerning any mistreatment of the data in the official analysis.
