Benestad has written a comment (in PRP) on the earlier Scafetta PRP article (S13). Benestad is scathing of S13 and some quotes are:
“This conclusion is in error because it is based on a misrepresentation of the previous work.”
“S13 further made reference to “outdated hockey-stick paleoclimatic temperature graphs” with no factual support”.
“S13 misrepresented BS09 by giving the impression that a multiple regression with 10 covariates was used to estimate the solar contribution to the recent warming.”
