Those seeking "No" as an answer to dumb questions about climate change have long loved Watts Up With That for the gibberings of amateur statisticians, high amperage hypocrisy from K-Street shills, and the sustained hilarity of Watts' dividing science editing between an Oklahoman CO2 well driller, and a building contractor in the Solomon Islands. For the past few years, it's faced competition in the Spin Zone from Pay- For- Play blogs open access journals like GeoResJ, featuring ordinarily unpublishable items such as:
Time-series profiles derived from temperature proxies such as tree rings can provide information about past climate. Signal analysis was undertaken of six such datasets, and the resulting component sine waves used as input to an artificial neural network (ANN), a form of machine learning. By optimizing spectral features of the component sine waves, such as periodicity, amplitude and phase, the original temperature profiles were approximately simulated for the late Holocene period to 1830 CE. The ANN models were then used to generate projections of temperatures through the 20th century. The largest deviation between the ANN projections and measured temperatures for six geographically distinct regions was approximately 0.2 °C, and from this an Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) of approximately 0.6 °C was estimated. This is considerably less than estimates from General Circulation Models (GCMs) used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and similar to estimates from spectroscopic methods.

Abstract
While Breitbart's clueless climate science guru thinks Abbot & Mahrosy's fueilleton packs the biggest bang since the runaway H-bomb that vaporised Elugulab, the scientific response to their theory has been underwhelming:"This is basically nonsense."
How basic?
So basic that GeoResJ 's staid scientific publisher, Elsevier, has decided to ditch the journal for good:
"GeoResJ will be discontinued from January 2018 and is closed to new submissions...
Authors wishing to find alternative journals to publish in may wish to use the Elsevier Journal Finder tool."
Neither Terminauthor is a climate modeler. Boh have long worked at the soft coal fired Institute of Public Affairs , which besides novel climate scince ideas, offers informative books on cat palmistry. Abbot got his PhD "in association with the Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada." and has engaged in basic research associated with the refining of crude oil, working at the Caltex oil refinery in Brisbane" while full time publicist & part time water chemist Maharosy has worked with him defending their patrons against a string of agricultural runoff lawsuits
