That's precisely what I was talking about - his links all talk about emissions. Emissions can't be measured, they can only be guessed and estimated. Every outlet now talks about how emissions are decreasing, draw fancy graphs pointing downward and so on. There is a slight problem - we can and do measure results of said emissions, the actual gasses in the atmosphere.
Imagine a pool with a water with two underground pipes, one ingress, another egress. There is no way to measure flow in either of the pipes. But there are partially available documents mapping pipes and their diameters across whole neighborhood. And there is access to some of the water plants in the area and some of the big consumers (not all). So you can hire a whole university of scientists to estimate how the whole water pipe network works at different times, estimate all inaccessible plants and consumers too, account for rusting and leakage and so on and so forth, and estimate the flow of water in and out of the pool this way.
Or you can put a measuring stick in a water directly and measure with a clock the actual amount of water and dynamics of its level.
And if thousand scientists say that their models say that a net inflow of water is decreasing, but the measuring stick shows stable increase year over year... Well, it's time to change something in the official papers.
