Richard Lindzen: Profile of a Moderate Climate Skeptic
The Weekly Standard has a good article highlighting the career and views of Richard Lindzen. Even the alarmists have to take his views seriously and he’s one of the few skeptics who the media will still quote. I have noting to add to the piece, read the article. You’ll come away enlightened.
Typical. Anyone who denies them is declared hostes humani generis.
Which gives them a green light to remove them by any means, even unlawful and morally repugnant ones.
Sad to see something that is supposed to be rational being reduced to mindless demagoguery.
Kinda describes a lot of things.
I’ve come away with more respect for him and less for just about everyone else.
Yeah, he seems a lot more calm and cool thinking than the rest of climate researchers.
I see what you do there. You’re pretty COOL.
“climate science” as such didn’t exist when he was beginning his career in academia. Rather, Lindzen studied math.”
That may have helped him learn how to accurately predict and detect patterns.
Mathematics definitely provide that skill, but it seems to be his position in academia that his led him in the right direction.
Especially surprising that he’s at MIT
“he contends that the “alarmists” vastly overstate the Earth’s climate sensitivity.”
Because they’re getting paid by solar and wind energy companies to report those findings.
Don’t they all? The energy industry is very political.
“Already by ’88 the New York Times had literally a global warming beat.”
That’s a long history to try and tear down.
yeah, that institution has been mainstream for so long that getting the NY Times to post anything else would be near to impossible.
“Thus, while the full IPPC report demonstrates a significant amount of doubt among scientists, the essentially political Summary for Policymakers filters it out.”
How unfortunate for the world. To not get the full story is just terrible.
