I bet that word "legitimate" is gonna be taking a lot of weight if we we push this claim. Or is it circular? i.e. "Legitimate" *means* those who have the "correct" view? In my mind's eye Rick I imagine you at a little wine & cheese party for exalted company. Here you would have the opportunity to repeat your view about the "legitimacy" of some individuals who do not share your certainty about climate change. First Rick, meet professor Richard Lindzen, a Harvard trained atmospheric physicist and Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "How do you do". Oh and here we have Syun-Ichi Akasofu, the Founding Director of the International Arctic Research Center of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and its Director since its establishment in 1998 until January 2007. Previously he was director of the Geophysical Institute since 1986. "Pleased to meet you". Now over here Rick! Here's Dr Roy W. Spencer, principal research scientist for the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite. He has served as senior scientist for climate studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. He is principally known for his satellite-based temperature monitoring work, for which he was awarded the American Meteorological Society's Special Award. (A real heavyweight climatolgist Rick, but DON'T MENTION INTELLIGENT DESIGN!). "How do you do". And also with us this evening we have Dr John Christy. He is a distinguished professor of atmospheric science, and director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He was appointed Alabama's state climatologist in 2000. For his development of a global temperature data set from satellites he was awarded NASA's Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement, and the American Meteorological Society's "Special Award." In 2002, Christy was elected Fellow of the American Meteorological Society. "Pleased to meet you". I'd love to be a fly on the wall! You wouldn't be shy would you Rick?
