A meteorologist who worked on climate studies at NASA says satellite observations show the Earth is warming at the “bottom end” of climate models - but Google has demonetised his website.
Dr Roy Spencer said Google was "not specific about what claims" led to the decision.
“What their website tells me is that all of my whole website basically is unreliable and harmful claims,” he said.
“If people like myself don’t buy into the narrative that global warming is not only occurring but it’s going on at a catastrophic rate and we have to do something about it, if you don’t go along with that narrative, you get thrown under the bus.”
Dr Spencer, formerly a senior scientist for climate studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Centre, told Sky News Australia his global temperature dataset started with John Christy over 30 years ago is unlike any other because it’s from satellites and “covers the whole Earth”.
“If we do an apples-to-apples comparison between the satellite measurements and what over two dozen climate models have predicted since 1979, for that same layer (troposphere) we, our measurements, are actually at the bottom end of all those models,” he said.
“In other words, the warming we see is lower than most if not all of those models, so there is a discrepancy between what the observations are showing, which shows about an average of 0.13 degrees Celsius per decade warming, which is a very small number compared to the climate models which are generally twice that at least.”
