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."
Anyone publishing anything to the contrary will be fired.
Retraction Watch has more on this.
Dog is my co-pilot.
Uh because it's not This is a trick question right? You know that it gets warmer on the earth when the earth moves from winter to spring right? So why should it be different when pluto warms when going from winter to spring then to summer. The temperature record for Mars is full of data gaps but what continuous records of Mars temperatures do not show a temperature increase. Please read a little about the astronomy and meteorolgoy before you repeat crap from Rush/Beck/Hannity/fauxnews
Read Spencer's own blog, where three or four other climatologists tear his claims apart. But do it quick. Spencer, I suspect, won't let any post that isn't from like minded ideologues survive long.
No, it's places like "RealClimate" that does the banning and scrubbing of posts; Roy - like Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre - will leave the posts up. They value dissent and questioning, as opposed to the enforced orthodoxy of places like "RealClimate".
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
