Climate contrarian uncovers scientific error, upends major ocean warming study

[bubbabgone]

"In a paper published Oct. 31 in the journal Nature, researchers found that ocean temperatures had warmed 60 percent more than outlined by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

However, the conclusion came under scrutiny after mathematician Nic Lewis, a critic of the scientific consensus around human-induced warming, posted a critique of the paper on the blog of Judith Curry, another well-known critic.

“The findings of the ... paper were peer reviewed and published in the world’s premier scientific journal and were given wide coverage in the English-speaking media,” Lewis wrote. “Despite this, a quick review of the first page of the paper was sufficient to raise doubts as to the accuracy of its results.” "

Remember that study?
There's another thread on the mistake but this is the guilty plea.
Yeah Scripp's and Princeton had to walk back the published findings.
Notice the error was pointed out in a blog?
Those darned blogs.

Question now is whether the paper will be withdrawn.
