James Taylor versus relative humidity and specific humidity
It appears that the relative humidity and specific humidity continues to trip some people up. Yes, I'm thinking of the screed James Taylor wrote on Forbes.com on Aug. 20 . In his article, Taylor trumpets two "facts". First, that relative humidity has declined and second, that specific humidity isn't rising as fast as global climate models predict. Since climate models assume that relative humidity has stayed constant, Taylor then claims that models are overestimating global warming. Unfortunately for Taylor, his "facts" don't check out.
