If Mr. Rose really wants to improve his reporting and do a
general service
of advancing a true understanding
of the
issue of anthropogenic
climate change, he needs to do a comprehensive article about Earth's energy budget, and state quite clearly all the different spheres (all layers
of the atmosphere, hyrdosphere, crysosphere, and biosphere) in which the signal
of anthropogenic warming is both modeled as impacting and then talk about what is data is actually saying in terms
of Earth's energy imbalance in all these spheres.
Yet who despite lack

of effort to find any possible fault, real or imagined with anything they assert, then erroneously turn that into a refutation
of the broader
issue, along with, often, denigrating
climate science efforts, and often
climate scientists.
