More on the Muller testimony and claims of accelerated global warming

Russ Steele

I wrote about Margot Roosevelt’s article in the LA Times on Richard Muller’s Testimony and challenged Peter Thorne's claim of accelerated global warming in that article here. Now Dr. Roger Pielke, writing at Climate Science has some thought on the article and Dr Thorne’s claims here.

I will use just one example from his list of climate metrics  to show that Peter Thorne is misleading the reporter, I have reproduced below the current plots of lower tropospheric temperature anomalies. The trend of temperatures using that climate metric is NOT accelerating, and, indeed, has not even been positive for over 12 years!
Peter Thorne now works with Tom Karl and Tom Peterson at NCDC so we can expect more such disinformation on climate metrics from him in coming weeks and months.
