Spencer's Book

[ajmplanner]

I have not seen it mentioned in this forum and perhaps I missed it. In case others have missed it, Spencer published a book a couple of months ago titled:

The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled The World's Top Climate Scientists,

An excellent review of the book appears here under the title Global Warming, R.I.P.

Hmmm, good overall, especialy the review in tone and direction but Spencer is a bit blinkered himself to my mind.
Note his recent comments / censoring in the "Virginia" threads at his blog. He appears to be quibbling the (AGW) figures,
rather than questioning the (AGW) physics.

I can not see the present version of the "temperature record" surviving climategate, in it's present form,
that will leave Spencer's book with some major headaches.
That's before we even consider the global CO2 "record"......

I would also note how Spencer tip toes around surface heat absorbtion / retention, and varying later release,
on all but the scales he wants to see..
