In honor of revelation todaythat Koonin, Christy and Spencer have become Special government employees In the Department of Energy, we present a quick summary of our comment on the caliber of its arguments that we have published here during the last decade more or less.
TL; dr? The arguments are not very good.
Steve Koonin
- Koonin’s case for another review of climate science (2019)
Roy Spencer
- Spencer’s Whenanigans (2024)
- Dipps de Volantes (2021)
- Spencer global warming error review (2011)
- Erroneous diagnosis of surface temperature feedback (2011)
- How to cook a graph on three easy lessons (2008)
John Christy
- How not to science (2023)
- The true meaning of the numbers (2017)
- Comparison of models with satellite observations (2016)
- Tropical Temperature Trends (2007)
There are more in the files if you care to look, but this should be a sufficient background reading to start.
And, since people ask, comparisons of the Spencer and Christy data set (updated version) and records similar to climatic models are here (and are updated every year).
