Sorry, I assumed you were up to speed on thermodynamics.
A negative TSI correlation violates the 1st Law of Thermodynamics! That's all the peer reviewing needed.
For your edification here is an explanation of the 1st Law at Physics4Kids ... http://www.physics4kids.com/files/thermo_laws.html ...
First Law
The first law states that when heat is added to a system, some of that energy stays in the system and some leaves the system. The energy that leaves does work on the area around it. Energy that stays in the system creates an increase in the internal energy of the system.
In English: you have a pot of water at room temperature. You add some heat to the system. First, the temperature and energy of the water increases. Second, the system releases some energy and it works on the environment (maybe heating the air around the water, making the air rise).
F & R must have both wagged the lecture on the 1st Law.
