THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper falsifies basis of the theory of man-made global warming
A paper published today in Environmental Research Letters shows that the "hot spot" or "fingerprint of man-made global warming" predicted by climate computer models is indeed missing from satellite observations. Climate models predict more warming in the upper tropical troposphere than the lower troposphere allegedly due to "heat-trapping" from increased greenhouse gases. However, satellite observations do not show the warming trend predicted by models, and thus the basis of the theory of man-made global warming is falsified.
Quote of the Week: rationalizing deceptive practices in ‘Tabloid Climatology’ | Watts Up With That?

If we are committed to truth and scientific accuracy, we have to talk in hedged, caveat-filled, probabilistic language that is utterly ineffectual in reaching and activating a tuned-out public.” -David Roberts, Grist
