Things were going well for the Koch Brothers and their global warming
disinformation campaign until now. The scientist they funded to do a study
to disprove the existence of global warming concluded that it is real and
caused by humans. OMG! Its hard to get good help these days.
.
Richard A. Mueller, a University of California Professor, wrote in an
Op-Ed Saturday in the New York Times:
.
Call me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in
previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very
existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research
effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was
real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. Im
now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause. (Emphasis
added.)
.
Mueller is the founder and Scientific Director of the Berkeley Earth
Surface Temperature Study (BEST). He was one of the scientists that
previously doubted global warming and did not believe man had any role. He
received a $150,000 grant from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation
for his research.
.
BEST was a group of 12 scientists led by Mueller, a global warming
skeptic, his daughter Elizabeth, and one climatologist, Judith Curry, who
was not a believer in climate change. They studied all the temperatures
they could get their hands on. My total turnaround, in such a short time,
is the result of careful and objective analysis, Mueller wrote.
.
The Op-ED summarized their findings:
.
Our results showed that the average temperature of the earths land has
risen by two and a half degrees Fahrenheit over the past 250 years,
including an increase of one and a half degrees over the most recent 50
years. Moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase
results from the human emission of greenhouse gases.

"Humans are almost entirely the cause" of climate change, according to a
scientist who once doubted that global warming even existed.
.
Last year, Richard Muller walked back years of climate change skepticism
in light of new research. But Sunday's comments go one step further.

Converted Skeptic: Humans Driving Recent Warming

Mullers team last fall submitted four papers summarizing its review of a
vast array of temperature records spanning two centuries to the journal
JGR Atmospheres and posted them and supporting data and other material at
the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature, or BEST, Web site. (The papers
have not been published yet and one of my first questions for Muller and
his team now is have they been accepted?)
.
The teams new strong conclusion about human-generated greenhouse gases
driving recent warming is one of several findings in a fifth paper that
Muller says is being submitted to the journal and posted on his Web site,
as well [this afternoon].
.
Muller, who has combined P.T. Barnum showmanship and science throughout
his three-year project, chose to break the news in an Op-Ed article in The
Times (with various leaks and rumors percolating on the Web). There are
perils in having publicity precede peer review. For hints of how this
could backfire, read on.
.
In the Times article, hes thrown down a gauntlet to remaining skeptics,
demanding that they find any alternate explanation for the measured
warming:
.
How definite is the attribution to humans? The carbon dioxide curve gives
a better match than anything else weve tried. Its magnitude is consistent
with the calculated greenhouse effect extra warming from trapped heat
radiation. These facts dont prove causality and they shouldnt end
skepticism, but they raise the bar: to be considered seriously, an
alternative explanation must match the data at least as well as carbon
dioxide does.
.
After the first round of papers went online last fall, some climate
scientists, while put off by Mullers past diatribes and self-promotional
zeal, were mildly enthusiastic (see Gavin Schmidt here).
.
But others, notably the climate modeler William Connolley through his
Stoat blog, have dismissed Mullers work old and new as rubbish.
.
Its particularly notable that one collaborator on the first batch of
papers, Judith Curry of the Georgia Institute of Technology, declined to
be included as an author on the new one.
