Can global warming skeptics point me to some skeptical peer-reviewed papers?
It isn’t clear what you are looking for. There are lots of papers out there that question one facet of the theory or another. But most of these papers are a little lacking in more detailed analysis, or somewhat one-sided. For example, the Spencer et al. paper (see below) supposedly supports the adaptive iris hypothesis, but the cooling effect found for the tropics is far too small to offset the positive forcing from CO2 globally. If the adaptive iris effect were going to save our bacon, Spencer wouldn’t be waving his hand at a negative trend due to one huge negative outlier in the back half of his dataset, nor would he have to restrict his analysis to such a finite time. The latent heat flux would have to have increased by nearly 50% to offset the warming from CO2. (You can see this by estimating the global longwave radiative forcing from CO2 is 1.6 W/m^2 and figuring out how much the upward latent heat transport would have to increase during deep convection in the tropics.)
