A major new climate study in the journal Nature got worldwide media coverage for finding that the oceans warmed dramatically faster than previously thought but now the researchers have retracted that conclusion after a man in the United Kingdom blogged about flaws he discovered in the paper.
Just two weeks after publication, the study authors have revised their paper, and now conclude that the oceans are warming fast -- but at the same rate as other measurements have found.
A study co-author took responsibility for the error.
I accept responsibility for these oversights because it was my role to ensure that details of the measurements were correctly understood and taken up by coauthors, study co-author Ralph Keeling wrote in an explanation of the revision.
The error was first discovered by Nic Lewis, a retired British man who holds a bachelors degree in math from the University of Cambridge and who reads science papers for fun. He has also written a couple of published papers of his own on climate science.
I've always liked to understand the world and to check whether people's research makes sense to me. Once I find something that seems wrong to me, I like to get to the bottom of it, Lewis told Fox News.
Lewis said the incident should serve as a cautionary tale.

Sure - but you are as late to the party as the article you posted.
The alarmist data is always corrected well after the BS is spread like gospel and the truth is whispered. Meanwhile that idiot Romney is preparing to clog the Senate with climate crap. Thanks Utah.
“Carbon pollution” is the most ridiculous term liberals have invented to date. Carbon is the basis for all life, and we wouldn’t even be here without it. Are they taking the side of Agent Smith in The Matrix movie when he calls all humans a virus, only in this case it’s all life? And what is life polluting? Climate? What good is climate without life?
Sounds more convincing than “protactinium pollution”.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Low-info voters didn’t`t even notice the switch from CO2 to C.
They mindlessly repeat what they’re told to think.
More fake science is being revealed by the internet. That was not an accident.
Wow, couldnt have seen that coming...
Someone please tell this to Holly-Wood’s own Robert DI-BOZO!
Yeah, you get CO2 by burning carbon, so not quite the same thing. Like saying it rains hydrogen.
Where was this published? Sounds like among many issues that this was not properly peer reviewed. It suggests the possibility that publishers and peers overlooked problems in a rush to publish results they like.
Lack of the Scientific Process is the biggest flaw in the whole global warming debate. But that shouldn’t be an excuse to ignore the rigor of analysis. It is simply impossible to obtain a double-blind control group. The entire theory rests on post hoc analysis.
Separately, anyone who says “it is settled science” is not a scientist. In science nothing is ever settled; in fact it is an important principle to challenge science at every turn - that is what science is.

Major science paper debunked by hobbyist.
Error? ERROR? There are no errors in baseball!
Waitaminute...
Obviously, the reviewers did an inadequate job of proofing the paper before it was published.
That’s what happens when you have your ideological buddies do the peer review...:^)
What's "FP"?
Typo, I fat finger when I type fast.
I think the most I can ever get in action is four and the outer two are stiff.
The OH is over the Antarctic; and, sure enough, there is very little life there.
And almost ZERO humans.
And the ones that ARE there wear enough clothing to protect them from...
