^^^wow.

So if I understand this correctly, g3b wrote the paper with 'guidance' from four 'human' authors. But when those guys did not like the opinion g3b gave, they fed it hand picked data to 'guide' it in the direction they wanted.

The 'human' authors are:
Jonathan Cohler, who is the President of Cohler & Associates in Lexington MA. That is a one person company that primarily operates in the Music Arranging and Composing business (per Buzzfile).

Franklin Soon, a senior at Marblehead High School, Marblehead MA, but is supposedly a Research Assistant at CERES. This is from his Linkedin entry. CERES seems to be a three man research group located in MA.

Willie Soon, Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from USC and is one of the three researchers at CERES. Possibly Franklin Soon's dad. Numerous publications under his belt. (per CERES-Science website).

David Legates, retired professor of geography at the University of Delaware. He is the former Director of the Center for Climatic Research at the same university and a former Delaware state climatologist. In September 2020, the Trump administration appointed him as deputy assistant secretary of commerce for observation and prediction at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Legates has spent much of his career casting doubt on the severity of climate change and the human causes of warming. He is affiliated with the Heartland Institute, a think tank that promotes climate change denial. (per Wikipedia)

Sounds like a highly massaged paper, kind of like all of the pro-climate change folks.
 
This has been the coldest last two weeks of January that I can recall. Man, it's so cold Somalians have their hands in their own pockets!
The climate is definitely changing! Until 2 years ago, December was the coldest month where I live, with a bunch of days below zero, and a couple down to -20 overnight (with no camera failures, I'll add). Two Decembers ago we never went to zero, and this last one never went below 20. No snow yet this winter other than light dustings that were gone in 24 hours. Last winter the big snow didn't come until late Feb and March, and I'm afraid what might be coming this year to repay for the no-snow December and January
