Climategate Scientist Michael E. Mann Exonerated


You mean "Wong, T. B. A. Wielicki, R. B. Lee, III, G. L. Smith, K. A. Bush, and J. K. Willis, 2006: Re-examination of the Observed Decadal Variability of Earth Radiation Budget using Altitude-corrected ERBE/ERBS Nonscanner WFOV data. J. Climate, 19, 4028-4040" right? That paper is, as the title indicates, ONLY about correcting satellite data for altitude changes. That is not the only correction needed, as you already know. You already know this because I have relayed this information to you from leading climatologists, not because YOU have performed your own due diligence and read the leading scholarship on this subject: Trenberth 2009, Zhang et al, 2007, etc. but it is an unambiguous fact that your conclusions are wrong and the data are not adequate for the trend you're trying to claim.

Do you suppose that "Wong, T.B.A." is the same T. Wong who co-authored "An observationally based energy balance for the Earth since 1950" with D. M. Murphy, S. Solomon, R. W. Portmann, K. H. Rosenlof, and P. M. Forster in 2009? I think it is, because it cites the same "ERBE_S10N_WFOV_ERBS_Edition3_Rev1 data" and that paper destroys your entire analytical framework in one simple, declarative sentence.

"A warming Earth emits more infrared radiation." (page 3)

Not less, more. "A warming Earth emits more infrared radiation." Your entire thesis is wrong CONCEPTUALLY. Forget about the data. You don't even understand the Theory correctly.
