Many of of the things he says other climate scientists have pointed out before (Curry, Lewis, Christy just to name a few).
All those "scientists" have been debunked previously. Many times. Of making basic errors in their work. Curry has been debunked so many times she won't submit her work anymore for peer review, and instead only publishes it on her blog where she can be free from criticism.

As far as Nakamura goes, there isn't much about his book, because it was only published a few weeks ago. Unlike a lot of skeptics/deniers who latch on to something they believe debunks the science straight away, real scientists take time to examine claims. I would guess some scientists are analyzing and validating Nakamura's book (and their own work as well, because scientists should) and this will take time. The other scientists mentioned have been around for decades so plenty of time for their work to be critiqued. But I can already see two areas of his criticism that have previously been addressed, "water vapor " and "aerosols". Other scientists have acknowledged some of his criticism of their climate models as well, although they acknowledge what those criticism are, they state they are not the "magnificent breakthrough" that totally debunks "warmist lies" like a lot of hardcore deniers are waiting in vain for. This book hasn't caused any waves within the scientific community, as it (on first glance) appears to be just a re-hashing of the same criticisms that others like Curry have already made that have already been thoroughly debunked.

And another fact. Nakamura's book is just that. A book, not peer reviewed science, not a peer reviewed study. It wasn't published in a reputable scientific journal. It only gets mentions on the usual whacko denial blogs, including the fundamentalist religious website "Life Site News" you posted a link from that's got a story on it's front page telling readers to petition to stop movie producers featuring gay characters in movies. It isn't an unbiased scientific publication.

No thanks required, I'm just posting what the tens of thousands of credible climate scientists around the world are saying, after putting probably millions of hours of cumulative work into this topic. Thank them.
