Everybody. Read Dr Spencer’s book because he lays it on the line. I am relatively new to this climate catastrophe thing known as “Man-Made Global Warming” and “Settled Science”. Only got interested after Climategate; but since then I have been searching for a magic bullet indicator to tell if there is anything at all of value in the CO2 thermal forcing claims. Hmmmmm Arctic Ice? Just fine thank you. Antarctic? Same. Ocean temperatures? Dropping according to Argos; sea level rise ditto. Localized awful, awful droughts/floods/famines/four horsemen/you-name-it – either easily explained by natural phenomenon; accidents or lame leadership.

Warming? To me Dr Spencer’s explanation tells all: global warming as measured is a fraction of the modelers predictions and the entire Man-Made Global Warming meme as presented by Hansen/Gore/Mann/Jones/Briffa/Trenbeth et al is nothing but Piltdown Man writ large.

The thing that nailed AGW for me was a paper by Miklós Zágoni revealing a flaw in the underlying assumptions for the math models that gave us “Settled Science”. (See Researcher: Basic Greenhouse Equations "Totally Wrong") The paper correctly predicts the negative feedback now showing up in the physical data - before Climategate started all the double-takes.

I deal with models based on differential equations every day and it pays to know that sometimes the engineering assumptions built in to the equations might lead back generations - hidden from you unless you follow their build-up from first principles.

If only I were smart enough to explain it to learned people like Lindsey Graham.
