Summary

Spencer, a former senior NASA climatologist, reveals how climate researchers have been duped by Mother Nature into believing the Earth's climate system is far more sensitive to human activities and carbon dioxide than it really is.

Author Biography

Dr. Spencer also serves as the U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite. He is co-developer of the original satellite method for precise monitoring of global temperatures from Earth-orbiting satellites. He has authored numerous weather and climate research articles in scientific journals, provided congressional testimony several times on the subject of global warming, and authored the 2008 New York Times bestseller, Climate Confusion.
