New NASA Data Casts Doubt On Global Warming Models

bonch writes "Satellite data from NASA covering 2000 through 2011 cast doubt on current computer models predicting global warming, according to a new study. The data shows that much less heat is retained by carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere than is assumed in current models. 'There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans,' said Dr. Roy Spencer, a co-author of the study and research scientist at the University of Alabama." Note: the press release about the study is somewhat less over the top.

Climatologists have always published error bars

Is there anything whatever here to indicate that CO2 sensitivity is outside the (wide) range that climate scientists have been working with?

Oh, and research the Heartland Institute before deciding whether their interpretation of the paper is the most reliable one. It's also interesting to read about Roy Spencer.
