I agree you can’t conclude much from this data, but that is his point: we have terrible abyssal data and so might be missing a large forcing effect from our models. No one has seriously considered this, so we don’t have any of the data you suggest to disprove his theory. The latest temperature records suggest the IPCC models are underestimating cooling. Alternative hypothesis are not explicitly considered. I doubt he could get anything published alone, thus why he goes the blog post route. I guess I don’t have much faith in peer review because it usually ignores any heterodox hypothesis and hides bias. Look at the % of fraudulent medical and psychology papers that pass peer review with flying colours. Climate science should be treated with skepticism because the models contain so many unknowns and the consequences of mistakes are so high.
