Journal Editor Resigns Over Flawed Global Warming Paper

Layzej writes "Remote Sensing Editor-in-Chief Wolfgang Wagner resigned earlier today (PDF) over a global warming study published in his journal that was said to cast doubt on global warming models but was later found to be flawed. Wagner stated that the paper most likely contained fundamental methodological errors and false claims. He further expressed dismay over how 'the authors and like-minded climate skeptics have much exaggerated the paper's conclusions in public statements.' The author of the paper, Dr. Roy Spencer, has responded to the resignation."

Re:Most likely?

He's resigning because he is getting pilloried behind the scenes by the global warming/wealth redistribution crowd for upsetting their apple cart. Another example of scientist being browbeat/coerced into toeing the line.

    You've got the head cheerleader claiming that global warming "deniers" are equivalent of racists. No matter what you think about the climate, you have to see that as destructive to finding the truth.

Just another political brickbat in the climatology-gravy train war at those who would so brazenly question the gravy or the recipe. No doubt some of Spencer's critics are acolytes and professors from the Al Gore School of Energy CONservation.
