Gary,
I didn't mean that YOU were attacking Spencer, but the information contained in the "DISINFORMATION DATABASE" article that you posted appears to be intended by its author to be ad hominem. It does not address many of the issues, it just deals with Spencer.
That Spencer and Christy admitted an error is NOT indicative of them being fundamentally wrong. It does tend to indicate that they are being honest. When they discover an error, they admit it.
As for the temperature in the 1920's--that is YOUR evidence. You said that it hadn't been this hot in 73 years-- (1929 or 1925, it matters not--just that it was in the 1920's). You offered 1998 as the second hottest year on record! You offered it as a proof of something. Yet, when the hottest (not the second hottest) year is introduced as evidence you make a clarification? It was good enough for you to use as evidence in your argument, but it's not good enough for me to use in mine?
