BEST Study Finds Temperature Changes Explained by GHG Emissions and Volcanoes

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-getting-hot-in-here dept.

riverat1 writes "The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature studies latest release finds that land surface temperature changes since 1750 are nearly completely explained by increases in greenhouse gases and large volcanic eruptions. They also said that including solar forcing did not significantly improve the fit. Unlike the other major temperature records BEST used nearly all available temperature records instead of just a representative sample. Yet to come is an analysis that includes ocean temperatures."

    Does that work when you eat beans and shove the can up your ass as a plug?

    Would it be wrong to point out that climate studies are nearly universally sponsored by governments, which obviously have a vested interest in "proving" their party's stand ?

    If money corrupts climate studies, then all climate studies are corrupted, and there should be no signal.

    Hmmmm, maybe that's exactly what's happening here.
