> when all of the team members were asked if isotope data supported the conclusion that about 75% of the increase in atmospheric CO2 since the Industrial Revolution was due to the burning of fossil fuels, and Christy was the only member who disagreed.
> “Of course, those isotopic measurements have been made by labs around the world. You know, it’s very, very well established science. But John Christie did not agree. And when Professor Koonin asked him, well, why don’t you agree? John Christie said, because I did not make the measurements myself

Misapplying models, in this case through the intentional omission of proper data for said model cause it didn’t exist at the time, is a commonly reoccurring theme from climate change deniers.
What this person did is tantamount to when PHDs carbon date an object known to be millions of years old, land on 6,000 years, then say “see earth is actually young.” Carbon dating doesn’t work on extremely old objects, so this is a misapplication of carbon dating with the intent to deceive and mislead.
In other words, it’s shit tier science created specifically to mislead.
A central graph in the 2016 address (found on page 2) has numerous visualization issues (e.g., misalignment of the lines on the graph to exaggerate differences, no uncertainty ranges are provided, averaging data sets in the curves, leaving out data) [2].
