    Featuring Richard S. Lindzen, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Center for the Study of Science, Cato Institute; Emeritus Sloan Professor of Meteorology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; moderated by Patrick Michaels, Director, Center for the Study of Science, Cato Institute.
    For many fields of science, there is little doubt that the period 1830-1965 was a golden age. There is also little doubt that changes in the support structure for science since the late 60's have powerful elements that serve to inhibit major developments. Dr. Lindzen will discuss these changes from the personal perspective of a climate scientist, and place them in the historical perspective of other areas of study.
    Quantification of the effects of the support structure is complicated. There are a multiplicity of factors involved, including the existence of branches of science that are closely associated with political and social agendas. Changes in the character of major research centers, including the federalization of major research universities, also plays a major role, independent of the particular area of science. Serious studies of marginal factors such as diminishing returns as funding increases are sorely lacking.
    Video produced by Blair Gwaltney.

      In a 2001 profile in Newsweek, journalist Fred Guterl wrote that Lindzen "clearly relishes the role of naysayer. He'll even expound on how weakly lung cancer is linked to cigarette smoking." James Hansen recalls meeting Lindzen whilst testifying before the Vice President's Climate Task Force: "I considered asking Lindzen if he still believed there was no connection between smoking and lung cancer. He had been a witness for tobacco companies decades earlier, questioning the reliability of statistical connections between smoking and health problems. But I decided that would be too confrontational. When I met him at a later conference, I did ask that question, and was surprised by his response: He began rattling off all the problems with the data relating smoking to health problems, which was closely analogous to his views of climate data." www.gem.wiki/Richard_S._Lindzen

      Hosni Mubarak smears are all anybody has on Lindzen. He has debated alarmists many times, funny you have go all the way back to a 2001 hit piece on him and not a debate or talk of someone refuting his arguments. You hardly see, if ever, Hansen or Mann on a stage with men they disagree with. Those two titans of science should be able to put him in his place. They would rather be worshiped by others or pass out defamation lawsuits instead of dealing with science.

      The November 10, 2004 online version of Reason magazine reported that Lindzen is "willing to take bets that global average temperatures in 20 years will in fact be lower than they are now".
      Lindzen may have been “eminent” a long, long time ago, but his big climate theory has been largely debunked. For quite some time he has been doing little but spreading disinformation. He’s even started publishing nonsense that has led to unusually strong debunkings by his colleagues:
      Lindzen debunked again: New scientific study finds his paper downplaying dangers of human-caused warming is ‘seriously in error'”: Kevin Trenberth: The flaws in Lindzen-Choi paper “have all the appearance of the authors having contrived to get the answer they got.”

      Hosni Mubarak please, please, please guys you need to chill. You can’t debunk Lindzen. Send all the hit pieces you like. Lindzen’s whole point is that blaming CO2 is silly because the climate system is too complex. That’s what I don’t get about you guys. You’re trying too hard. Just admit you are fervently defending your belief system. Not settled science. Lindzen doesn’t make predictions. He simply is telling you you’re stupid if you think CO2 can control the climate. That’s all the “Deniers” are ever saying. If they found something wrong with one of his papers good. That’s actually how science is done. That’s not debunking HIS science, that’s science. You do realize that’s not what the AWG crowd is right? James Hanson made the public declaration 30 years ago and you refuse to let science take its course. Why?because it’s a political movement. Controlling carbon is controlling life.
      Bash him some more go ahead. I’m not a Lindzen fan boy but I see plenty AWG fan boys like you in every chat room doing your best. If only you could use that energy for a more productive cause. That would be nice.

    Modeling a chaotic system like the Climat is not easy. Small initial differences
    (in parameterised data) in these models lead to large gaps in the outcome. The
    question is to what extent is a chaotic system predictable. Waiting 30 or 50 years
    for confirmation/denial of the model is an other matter.

      Well I was taught that when you develope a hypothesis the first test is does known data support it? If it doesn't then you start over! Now through out all known historic data Co2 rise has always trailed temperature rise by 200 to 800 years and CO2 drop ha followed temperature drop by 200 to 2000 years! So all of these fraudsters know that temperature drives Co2 levels!

    Fact 1: By reflecting away 30% of the ISR the albedo & atmosphere that creates it together make earth cooler not warmer. RGHE has it wrong.
    Fact 2: Because of the significant non-radiative heat transfer participation of the contiguous atmospheric molecules, BB LWIR upwelling "extra" energy from the surface for GHGs to "trap" is not possible. RGHE has it wrong.
    Fact 3: No "extra" energy for GHGs means they cannot create any terrestrial warming. This hypothetical GHG warming loop also violates conservation of energy, perpetual motion and cold to hot without work. RGHE has it wrong.
    Fact 4: Zero RGHE = Zero GHG terrestrial warming = Zero man caused global warming or climate change.
