Kevin Trenberth: Where is the heat?
I first noticed commentary on a paper by Kevin Trenberth on the blog of Roger Pielke Jr. about 10 days ago:
Pielke Jr. wrote about Kevin Trenberth’s (of “it’s a travesty” Climategate fame) recent paper about the “missing heat” in the climate system. This was picked up elsewhere in the blogosphere, but actually started a few days earlier at Pielke Sr.’s blog where he got additional commentary from Trenberth, Josh Willis, and Roy Spencer over the next several days. Here’s a link to the dialog:
- Is There “Missing” Heat In The Climate System? My Comments On This NCAR Press Release
- Further Feedback From Kevin Trenberth And Feedback From Josh Willis On The UCAR Press Release
- Comments On Two Papers By Kevin Trenberth On The Global Climate Energy Budget
- The Significance of the E-Mail Interchange with Kevin Trenberth and Josh Willis
- Article On The “Missing Heat” In The April 16 Issue of Physicsworld.com
- Further Comment By Kevin Trenberth
- Roy Spencer’s Response To Kevin Trenberth, April 26, 2009
- April 26 2010 Reply By Kevin Trenberth
Lots of reading assignments, I know, but definitely worth your time. What is this? A real dialog on outstanding issues in climate science? Who would have thought such a thing was possible? My hat’s off to Pielke Sr. for getting this discussion moving forward in a postive way.
Another recent article hosted on Pielke Sr.’s blog that is worth a read is this one by Dick Lindzen:
We still have a lot to learn about the climate. Roger Pielke Sr. is helping to move the process along.
“The story of the missing heat does not indicate that climate science is a fraud or that we need not worry about a human influence on the climate system. What it does tell us is that there have been some unhealthy goings on in the climate community and we should all bask in the new found sunshine.”
Where did the heat go? I must confess, I stole it! haha
Could it be that this is another disproof of the “anthropogenic CO2 causes Global Warming” hypothesis?
Now if the IPCC decides to admit the truth that they are committing the biggest crock in history, I may decide to give them their heat back!:)

Hi Roger, thanks for the comment. Feel free to link on your blog – it looks interesting. I’ll wander over and take a read.
