So if the globe isn't warming..why are you calling it global warming?

Rolling Thunder in reply to SSDD posted a long exposed bogus paper by Pseudoscientist Sherwood, who amazingly conned dumb shit ignorant warmists into believing the Tropospheric Hot spot was found, he posted:

Researchers have published results in Environmental Research Letters confirming strong warming in the upper troposphere, known colloquially as the tropospheric hotspot. The hot has been long expected as part of global warming theory and appears in many global climate models.

The inability to detect this hotspot previously has been used by those who doubt man-made global warming to suggest climate change is not occurring as a result of increasing carbon dioxide emissions.

"Using more recent data and better analysis methods we have been able to re-examine the global weather balloon network, known as radiosondes, and have found clear indications of warming in the upper troposphere," said lead author ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science Chief Investigator Prof Steve Sherwood.

"We were able to do this by producing a publicly available temperature and wind data set of the upper troposphere extending from 1958-2012, so it is there for anyone to see."

The new dataset was the result of extending an existing data record and then removing artefacts caused by station moves and instrument changes. This revealed real changes in temperature as opposed to the artificial changes generated by alterations to the way the data was collected.

No climate models were used in the process that revealed the tropospheric hotspot. The researchers instead used observations and combined two well-known techniques—linear regression and Kriging.

"We deduced from the data what natural weather and climate variations look like, then found anomalies in the data that looked more like sudden one-off shifts from these natural variations and removed them," said Prof Sherwood....."


================

Hilarious at how easy it was for this con man to fool a lot of warmists with his bogus claims.

DR. Sherwood claims he found the hotspot was quickly exposed as poor science since he abandoned the Satellite data that DOESN'T show it in favor indirect modeled wind data, he also fudged the Sonde records (A science malpractice move) which has never been duplicated by anyone else. His IMPROPER use of Kridging methods were also exposed.

It is clear you never read his horrid paper, since the internal claims are obviously made up.

The Satellite data never shows what he claims at all, the very best possible measure of the lower atmosphere calls him a liar:
