… Climate contrarian uncovers scientific error, upends major ocean warming study - The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Co-author Ralph Keeling, climate scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, took full blame and thanked Lewis for alerting him to the mistake.

“When we were confronted with his insight it became immediately clear there was an issue there,” he said. “We’re grateful to have it be pointed out quickly so that we could correct it quickly.”

That's pretty classy, actually, to say nothing of scientifically sound.
