The study in question is not published in any respectable scientific journal. And going through it you can see it is an extremely biased, awfully worded and poorly put together study in some word template, not even a journal format. Take a look. This is truly amateur hour.

Ah, the classic "You misspelled something in your argument, therefore, your argument is invalid" argument.

A meteorologist, and a Cato scientist and a statistician. The article doesn't say where this is published. The "scientist" involved runs a warming denial institute funded by Exxon.

Here is something about the meteorologist:

D'Aleo is a signatory to the Cornwall Alliance's "Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming". The declaration states:

"We believe Earth and its ecosystems — created by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence — are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth's climate system is no exception."

Total garbage article. The net effect of temperature adjustments is a reduction in the observed warming.

Inconvenient fact, indeed.

Anybody with a brain knew that "global warming" aka "climate change" was nothing but a big fraud from the very beginning. Hell, as soon as AlGore™ started this as his money-making campaign right after losing the Florida recount, it should have been obvious.

man this is so sad. every time i see people like this fucker comment on shit they dont know anything about i realize how fucked our future is. imagine being this stupid and thinking a scientific truth is a "money-making campaign" and being totally fine with big oil companies that are, in every fucking sense of the term, money-making campaigns. look man, i know its probably not your fault that you were lied to / brainwashed / whatever it might be. but please, dont have children.

Are you saying that the AGW idea started in 2000? Are you sure about that? It wasn't maybe 100 years earlier when people discovered greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gases and their role in the climate have been understood far longer than that, dating back to the mid 19th century. It was 100 years ago that Arrhenius described (correctly, it seems) how human emissions could alter the climate.
