Similarly, many studies that attempt to examine the co-variability between Earth's energy budget and temperature (such as in many of the pieces here at RC concerning the Spencer and Lindzen literature) are only as good as the assumptions made about base state of the atmosphere relative to which changes are measured, the «forcing» that is supposedly driving the changes (which are often just things like ENSO, and are irrelevant to radiative - induced changes that will be important for the future), and are limited by short and discontinuous data records.
