Quote from futurecurrents:
Salby hasn't even been published in a peer reviewed journal as far as I can tell. His work is crap and goes against common sense. He's just flavor of the week for the denier moron crowd. He has no credibility among real climate scientists. So of course the denier morons, who think they are smarter than the experts, latch on to his bullshit.
Of course he has, he is one of the world's top atmosphere physicists.

He has not got this latest work published yet, but I am certain it has been submitted. The peer review process for anything that breaks with conventional thinking can take a couple years, with a number of rejections, revisions, etc. The objections of the reviewers have to be answered to the satisfaction of the editors before something can be published. For work of minor importance, the review process can be cursory and often the reviews are even of worse quality than the work. Mistakes get through. For work of this importance however, the review process will be extremely thorough.
We will just have to wait and see whether Salby's latest work is accepted as correct, mostly correct, incorrect. I would guess none of us here are fully qualified to judge it, but there are those that are qualified and will weigh in, I assure you. In the meantime it is best to just ignore comments from anyone not working directly in the field, myself included, until this latest work has been subjected to rigorous review. It makes sense to me however. (Pretend I did not say that.
