Global Warming on Free Republic

Dr Spencer, formerly senior scientist for climate studies at NASA, now leads the US science team for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSRE) on NASA’s Aqua satellite. He co-developed the original satellite method for precise monitoring of global temperatures from Earth-orbiting satellites. He’s just the kind of egghead the IPCC claims to represent when it tells us the world is getting dangerously warmer, it’s man’s fault – the result of CO2 emissions – and it must be urgently addressed. Except Dr Spencer doesn’t agree with any of that. He thinks it’s all nonsense, based on a very elementary error he describes in his new book The Great Global Warming Blunder. I summarise his arguments in this article.

Here’s an analysis that shows that Man’s CO2 contribution to the greenhouse effect is 0.117%.
Thanks! :)
It’s going to take me a while to go through the information but it looks to be worth it!
Highly recommend his blog.
It’s not a very impressive article... it doesn’t actually provide any details.
Go to reply #10 The link he posted is VERY detailed. :)
No, but there is some interesting reading in that book.
I looked for a hard copy quite a while, finally found one in a book store in MO. They wanted $50 for it, I passed. When I discovered Project Gutenberg that solved that problem.
When I originally read the book I spent a weekend in a small town in eastern KS and it was in the local library. Spent a couple of days there reading it. (could not check it out, I was out of state. I guess I could have gotten it “on loan”.)
Global Warming on Free Republic
None of the meteorologists I ever met ever thought that.
This guy is just catching up.
Thanks for the ping.
They like tantalizing little headlines ...
It is interesting to me that the RF and EE techies are generally very conservative (many came up through military). Almost all of my old Ham tech friends are pro-MIL right wing gun toters. Some worse than I am.
But many of the computer techies are lefties. There are some very technical computer guys, but not in the young crowd.
It is dangerous to speak in generalities, but that is my observation.

Fixed it
