It makes no difference to me whether you have a PhD, MSC or if you work for the BBC. Your opinion/belief is of interest to me so don't shy away from elaborating on my behalf.
Your final point regarding previous work and funding has no bearing on the papers we are discussing. If there is something wrong with the science/data then let people find it and point it out to the authors.
The balloon data can be checked/verified. The experiments recreated. The equations and physical laws used can be tested/verified.
Bear in mind that the papers being discussed were published in 2013 I would have expected someone to have exposed them by no. I was surprised I only heard about this in the past few months but then I remembered, if it's not published in a trusted science journal it isn't worth discussing 😜, even if peer review can be carried out by anyone in the world with access to the internet where the all the papers, data and methods are published.
Science isn't a religion. We are all scientists.
OK.. my 5 cents:
I believe that their paper/studies actually doesn't proof their conclusion: They seem to agree that there is a GHG effect - just as described by science- but say it is less than what science claims.. and at the end conclude there is no man made global warming.. which neglects some of their prior findings.. that's the first thing I do not get.. so the question is if their experiment really does proof what they think it does... and then the discussion below my link starts in that other blog about exactly that and at the end they/he just did not respond any more at the time it was really getting down to crunch time...
.. and there are other people in that comments section as well who ask them to give their paper to a peer review as this is the best way to get expert feedback.. what they seem not have done since 5 years...
they mention all over their page that they are independent and I just say that if someone is sponsored for a greenpeace defaming paper by the heartland institute I certainly doubt their independence...
not saying this would be a reason for their paper to be wrong
