From the article.......

"If the issues weren't so serious and the ramifications so profound, I would have to laugh at it," said David Deming, a geology professor at the University of Oklahoma who has been critical of media reporting on the climate change issue. In the article, Obama Left with Little Time to Curb Global Warming, AP Science Writer Seth Borenstein wrote that global warming is "a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can't avoid," and that "global warming is accelerating."  Deming, in an interview, took issue with Borenstein's characterization of a problem he says doesn't exist.  "He says global warming is accelerating. Not only is it continuing, it's accelerating, and whether it's continuing that was completely beyond the evidence," Deming told FOXNews.com.  "The mean global temperature, at least as measured by satellite, is now the same as it was in the year 1980. In the last couple of years sea level has stopped rising. Hurricane and cyclone activity in the northern hemisphere is at a 24-year low and sea ice globally is also the same as it was in 1980."  Deming said the article is further evidence of the media's decision to talk about global warming as fact, despite what he says is a lack of evidence.  "Reporters, as I understand reporters, are supposed to report facts,"Deming said. "What he's doing here is he's writing a polemic and reporting it as fact, and that's not right. It's not reporting. It's propaganda.

Check out Roy Spencer sometime, works for NASA here in Huntsville, the left really hates him.

That picture is priceless (and the chick appears to be hott)

I always want to go to Vegas, but I can't imagine how much fun it has to be in the Snow.  The folks there must be going apeshit.  The only time I've been there it was like 110 degrees and I would instantly have pit stains upon walking outside.

Yes, I can see that...here's the beginning of one of many articles attempting to discredit his work on "RealClimate.com" which I read every now and then for shits and giggles:

How to cook a graph in three easy lessons
[21 May 2008, Ray Pierre]

These days, when global warming inactivists need to trot out somebody with some semblance of scientific credentials (from the dwindling supply who have made themselves available for such purposes), it seems that they increasingly turn to Roy Spencer, a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama. Roy does have a handful of peer-reviewed publications, some of which have quite decent and interesting results in them. However, the thing you have to understand is that what he gets through peer-review is far less threatening to the mainstream picture of anthropogenic global warming than you'd think from the spin he puts on it in press releases, presentations and the blogosphere. His recent guest article on Pielke Sr's site is a case in point, and provides the fodder for our discussion today.

Actually, Roy has been pretty busy dishing out the confusion recently. Future posts will take a look at his mass market book on climate change, entitled Climate Confusion, published last month, and his article in National Review. We'll also dig into some of his peer reviewed work, notably the recent paper by Spencer and Braswell on climate sensitivity, and his paper on tropical clouds which is widely misquoted as supporting Lindzen's IRIS conjecture regarding stabilizing cloud feedback. But on to today's cooking lesson.

By the way, for the record, AUTiger1, I don't buy any of this anthropogenic global warming crap.  As I've opined before it's just an excuse for new taxes.  I just thought that it might be interesting to show what the left says about this guy (which makes him all-the-more credible in my opinion).
