I have ordered his newest book (kindle version) which takes him into the Economics world. Given the write ups about the book, I surmise that Spencer's GW/CC views are highly influenced by his ideology. Why else would he come up with such outlandish interpretations to his satellite DATA (which closely matches Phil Jones and Jim Hansen's direct meaasurement DATA) than virtually all other GW scientists who know that the rise we have seen since 1979 is at least 10 times as great as ever experienced even in the deglaciation periods before man's time on earth with the Vostok DATA and also know it is man-caused. Why else woudl he provide a theory that clouds mitigate GW w/o a shred of evidence? Why else would he declare PDO oscillations are even an regular cycle with only ~ 1.5 cycles of data or that PDO better explains the temp rise we have seen since 1910 than CO2 emissions and measurements do? All of this is his wishful thinking so as to not disturb his base ideology.
Spencer is also an advocate of Intelligent Design (which I am as well, but I betcha there are differences in details).
I'll post info after reading Spencer's new book. Apparently he is an iconclast even in an area he is not trained in. This book will in all likelihood only show his true colors as an ideologue.
I also am reading very profitably the inside story of the Hockey Stick in by Malcolm Bradley a co-author with Michael Mann in the seminal 1998 work on paleoclimatology over the last 1000 years (extended recently to last 2000 years).
