In any scientific topic, you can find credentialed scientists who do not agree with the majority. And if you really wanted educate yourself on the subject, you can find more than just the abstract on the study out there. There are plenty who have written summaries. I wanted to post a link to the actual study....not a magazine article.
What is the correlation between CO2 levels and temperature? Are you saying there's a consensus on ECS? Link? And you do realize correlation =/= causation, right?
The study you reference is a temperature reconstruction according to the abstract, so I immediately know it doesn't have the precision to estimate ECS. And I'll gladly read it as soon as you point me to what it refutes I've said and where. I imagine it does refute many claims made by deniers, but nothing I've said "denies" warming has happened.
Also, I don't hang my hat on Roy Spencer, either (which I said, he thinks ECS is negative and I disagree). But he's a heavyweight in the field, research that has been cited hundreds probably thousands of times, and maintainer of one of the global satellite temp records. Judith Curry was also somewhat of an activist, and she's now a "denier" who dares to challenge the alarmist BS. She has a lot of great insights into the politics invading the research.
But you responded to my post that included all the links to Spencer's website - that seems a little intellectually dishonest to me to dismiss a leading scientist's website as "just a blog". There are PLENTY of links to science on his blog. I challenge anyone to go read those sources and say he's unqualified or that his survey is biased or unfounded. He gives a very objective and accurate view of the issues. He's not some quack denier - he's a leading expert in the field of attribution.
