Again, they SAY they have conclusive proof that is a "major blow for climate sceptics," but they never show it or their sources for the claim. Even if they're wrong, their credibility that's going down the toilet could be saved if they just showed their work and allowed it to be criticized. That's how science is supposed to work.

The paper is a joke. There is no proof at all. It takes instrument data and then compares it to two "simulated" - i.e., modeled outputs. As they often do, they confuse model outputs with being actual data.

Case closed. GIGO.
