I think Spencer just asks questions. Those who claim to know the linear AGW trend might know the answer. The point Spencer makes though is the hypothesis that the capacity of greenhouse gases to trap heat is overestimated, considering the heat storage capacity of the oceans [Roger Pielcke, Sr.] and the change in cloud formation [Spencer's specialty].

yawn. will you wake me up, when Spencer publishes a peer reviewed paper, that proposes a clear alternative theory?

the letter does NOT contain a single supported argument.

“maybe it is something else” is NOT a counter argument to anything.
