>> Caspar Ammann, National Center for Atmospheric Research
Caspar Ammann is a known climate cheat.
If you have the time and patience, read “Caspar and the Jesus Paper” on the Bishop Hill blog.

From August 2008. It’s a long but very readable expose of how Caspar Ammann and his sleazy colleagues played a “peer reviewed journal” shell game to do an end-run around Steve McIntyre(of Climate Audit) and get a paper incorporated into the IPCC AR4 that never should have been.
Despite all the nonsense, I like that this points out regional climate changes.
