Sorry, who is McKintyre?
Climate Audit Blog http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=7806
Looks like there’s a lot going on at his blog.
My PC is so bogged down right now, too many things open & loading :-) I believe he is a scientist, climatologist. You’ll probably get better answers. But do go check out his blog. Many answers there.
Not surprised you are not aware of his work....he and his friends have been exposing the data manipulation of the Scientists favored by the Global Warming Research funding financiers....
