Alastair. Very briefly. "He and ex-preacher Christy ". What are you trying
to infer. Right wing fundamentalism? How about the satellites, what
denomination are they?

I was inferring that Christy's position is based on his belief of a loving
God who cares for his people. Many of these people are Americans
so it is impossible for their world to be turned into a living hell.

Of course you do not need to be a right wing fundamentalist to feel
that a living hell is an impossibility. Most people do not understand
that level of CO2 controls the greenhouse effect which is mainly
due to water vapour. More CO2 causes the oceans to warm. They
evaporate more water and the water vapour causes an even
greater greenhouse effect. If doubling CO2 leads to a doubling
of the total greenhouse effect, then we are in for a rise of 33C!
What are your grounds for believing that can't happen? Do you
still think Roy Spencer is right when he says we should not worry?

Cheers, Alastair.

You know nothing about remote sensing of temperature, and nor does Spencer
or Christy, who are abusers of data, not providers.

But I do: I have worked directly on four space missions devoted to remote
sensing. It is simply not possible to resolve the signal from the noise
with such a short temporal baseline.

Concerning the categorising of the tropical storm in the South Atlantic:
deriving windspeeds (itself an approximation) from remotely sensed
temperatures (another approximation) and finding a narrow fit places
doubt upon the conclusion.

I think categorsiation needs collaborative evidence.

Well I'm sure the more learned members will look foward to reading your
critique of accrued satellite data. When is your paper up for peer gynt
review?
