.All of that is true, and has been very thoroughly discussed and rebutted. But note that no one at Macquarie or the NSF has ever questioned the integrity of his science. These are the kinds of problems one runs into when you are funded by mainstream sources but your results contradict mainstream thinking.Wiki is your friend..
About Salby.
From the mid 1980s, Salby conducted research out of University of Colorado Boulder. In 2005, the National Science Foundation opened an investigation into Salby's federal funding arrangements and found that he had displayed "a pattern of deception [and] a lack of integrity" in his handling of federal grant money.[2] He resigned his position in Colorado in 2008 and became professor of climate risk at Macquarie University in Macquarie Park, New South Wales. In 2013 he was dismissed by the university on grounds of refusal to teach and misuse of university resources.
"...Why did the lefts go for they trumped up character destruction instead of dealing with the science and the statistics?
Thank you Jem, for turning up this new Salby presentation. The inconsistencies between temperature and the CO2 record are so striking that it is a mystery to me how anyone can continue to buy into this idea that CO2 is driving climate change, when there is a total lack of experimental evidence supporting that thesis.
