I don't see any reason both of us should spring $40 for a copy we're only going to read once. PM me a copy of the PDF and delete yours when you are done with it.
Just read the abstract and wait for it to come out on Netflix.
OK, abstract then - what's your point?
Mine, or the paper?
the point of the paper I believe, is that when large natural events are removed, the modeling is more accurate.
Nutshell.
That's something new to you?

If you really want it.....it's linked to the end of the inevitable WUWT post. Just before the start of the comments.
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/11...-warming-climate-sensitivity-to-co2-too-high/
If you read the comments (lots of spreadsheet cowboys) it's funny. Basically, Christy tries to remove components of the current climate warming that he believes can be attributed to natural events in order to derive an adjusted climate sensitivity constant for CO2. And the comments are....see, all the warming can be attributed to the natural events he removed from the calculations.
