Roy Spencer and Richard Lindzen claims are provably scientifically wrong, their claims don't match what is already observed around the world:

You can have any religion you want but don't expect to be considered of any scientific significance (except as the example of a deluded mind) if your claims don't match the reality.

As you've said: "You have to look at the actual substance."

I know one older guy who I really respect, and with nice scientific background, whose political beliefs would make him agreeing with the "deniers." He started to blog how global warming is a lie etc. I've just sent him the links to really look at the data, the scientific work and to check himself. He never wrote or said anything against global warming again. You seem to have more scientific background than a lawyer, maybe you should honestly check the figures, facts and formulas just once...



> Roy Spencer and Richard Lindzen claims are provably scientifically wrong

I can't find any source for the data underlying the graph in your first link comparing Hansen to Lindzen regarding temperature predictions. The skeptical science article it is attributed to has a link to a 1988 Hansen paper that is broken ("not found"), and a link to a 1989 MIT Tech Talk article quoting Lindzen that has no graph at all and does not make any temperature prediction. So as far as I can tell, the supposed comparison in that graph has no factual basis.

Your second link shows multiple comparisons between statements Spencer has made and the "mainstream" IPCC position on climate science; the differences between them would be more accurately described as differences in opinion on how to interpret the data and how to make predictions, not as showing that Spencer is "provably scientifically wrong".

Yes, I did. See above.

> maybe you should honestly check the figures, facts and formulas just once...

I have been, for quite some time now. As I said, we're just going to have to disagree.

No, you're not disagreeing, you're just posting lies and bullshit, in fact, you're just trolling
