From Roy Spencer, PhD <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 4th, 2024 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog received the following comment from our alarmist friend David Appell, freelance writer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRoy, nobody who is serious about climate change takes you seriously. You\u2019re a denier who has made too many mistakes. No one who knows anything is going to bother commenting here\u2013they upset you so much that all you can think to do is block them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You long ago left the realm of science. As they say, science advances one funeral at a time. Nobody believes your time series anyway. You did that to yourself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As many here know, our UAH temperature dataset is used by researchers around the world, including those who believe the more alarmist narrative of anthropogenic climate change. It has been validated with global weather balloon data in multiple peer reviewed studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I\u2019m not sure why exactly I am a \u201cdenier\u201d; that has always mystified me. I\u2019m even part of the supposed 97% that believes the climate system is warming partly (maybe even mostly) from our CO2 emissions. John Christy and I even published a climate sensitivity paper that assumes ALL recent warming is from CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I routinely allow comments here from people who disagree with me on the science. Very few people have been blocked, and those from bad behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I think David was just having a bad day. I imagine these are difficult times for freelance writers since everyone with internet access can now be one. He\u2019s again talking about shutting down his pro-climate alarmism, pro-COVID vaccination blog, Quark Soup<\/a><\/em>. Too bad. So, for those who might want to send wishes of moral support, he can be reached at david.appell@gmail.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
