Once again pushback is required against scientists using climate models to promote their biased ‘human-caused warming’ agenda.
– – –
A new paper by Santer et al. provocatively entitled “Exceptional stratospheric contribution to human fingerprints on atmospheric temperature” goes where no serious climate scientist should go: it has conflated stratospheric cooling with global warming, says Dr. Roy Spencer (via Climate Change Dispatch).
The paper starts out summarizing the supposed importance of their work, which is worth quoting in its entirety (author’s emphasis):
Differences between tropospheric and lower stratospheric temperature trends have long been recognized as a “fingerprint” of human effects on climate. This fingerprint, however, neglected information from the mid to upper stratosphere, 25 to 50 km above the Earth’s surface. Including this information improves the detectability of a human fingerprint by a factor of five.
Enhanced detectability occurs because the mid to upper stratosphere has a large cooling signal from human-caused CO2 increases, small noise levels of natural internal variability, and differing signal and noise patterns.
Extending fingerprinting to the upper stratosphere with long temperature records and improved climate models means that it is now virtually impossible for natural causes to explain satellite-measured trends in the thermal structure of the Earth’s atmosphere.“
The authors are taking advantage of the public’s lack of knowledge concerning the temperature effect of increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, making it sound like stratospheric cooling is part of the fingerprint of global warming.
It isn’t. Cooling is not warming.

These so called ‘scientists’ do love playing computer games rather than actually doing any real scientific study. I assume doing real science would not provide the remuneration they expect, so why not stay in the nice air conditioned office and just play on the computer.
Why should we believe any thing they say when they can’t tell the difference between warming and cooling, or is this a lead up to changing to global cooling?

“Including this information improves the detectability of a human fingerprint by a factor of five.”
So it’s now 500% certain?
Or was it previously only 20%?
Or what on Earth does this mean?
This fearmongering was even published today in our main newspaper in Western Australia. Keep up your good work.
El Niño hype is underway…
You might be interested in a simple model I’ve developed that accurately predicts global temperature from sunspot data. It leaves little room for CO2 warming.
Models and python code are on github: https://github.com/bobf34/GlobalWarming/
As for the current El Niño, I’ve shared my predictions here:
A Strong El Niño in 2023? Not Likely.

[reply] strong El Niño predictions are mostly for 2024
1. there is NO greenhouse or effect. Never was.
— our atmosphere is open to space which is at just about absolute zero, one heck of a heat sink.
— a GHGE requires a mid tropospheric hot spot at the tropospheric “ceiling” and it does not exist and never will.
2. virtually all the measurable CO2 comes and goes from the oceans (eventually). They are massive sinks and sources of CO2 as the surface temperature of the oceans goes up and down plus the contribution of sub surface volcanos like the ones discovered near Antarctica. The human contribution is below the noise threshold in the data and always has been.
These grifters and rent seekers and their PlayStation computer models tire me out with their babble that ALWAYS turns out to be wrong.
FWIW even this morning and no different tonight: NewYork Statue visibility etc Canadian Fires? where did all the smoke go Bbc reporters been waving their arms around again – must have waved the smoke away: huh or was it just the humidity from their rantings?
As for Back Home – the Hottest days evva ? eh? any word about the COLDEST nights EVVA ? for some it may be warm or humid, muggy even, but in NE Scotland, by Jingo, its real Brass Monkey nights.
I’m curious. Why isn’t there any interest in my discovery of a way to predict temperature from sunspots (plot above)? It seems like a big deal to me. Is it that you don’t believe the result? I expected many wouldn’t, that’s why I made the code and a brief description of the model available. I really don’t understand the complete lack of response.
