| Disgraced Mr. Spencer |
Editor-in-Chief of the science journal Remote Sensing has resigned after discovering that the magazine had published an paper by climate change denier Roy Spencer that contained an ‘egregious blunder’ in the ‘fundamentally flawed’ paper.
It bears repeating, however, that Spencer committed one of the most egregious blunders in the history of remote sensing — committing multiple errors in analyzing the satellite data and creating one of the enduring denier myths, that the satellite data didn’t show the global warming that the surface temperature data did.
It also bears repeating that Spencer wrote in July, “I view my job a little like a legislator, supported by the taxpayer, to protect the interests of the taxpayer and to minimize the role of government.”
You can expect a lot of huffing and puffing from the denier community but don’t expect any apologies from the biggies who have trashed the overwhelming evidence for climate change based on the repeated blunders of Roy Spencer, a creationist with a disreputable past. And you can expect the media who jumped all over the ‘Climategate’ phony scandal to remain perfectly silent on this huge error. Liberal media strikes again.
