Richard Lindzen has a new opinion piece in today's Wall Street Journal, "There Is No 'Consensus' on Global Warming"
Here's the URL, (I think a subscription is required): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB115127582141890238.html He repeats many of the denialist claims, including this gem: "Even more recently, the Climate Change Science Program, the Bush administration's coordinating agency for global-warming research, declared it had found "clear evidence of human influences on the climate system."....... What exactly was this evidence? The models imply that greenhouse warming should impact atmospheric temperatures more than surface temperatures, and yet satellite data showed no warming in the atmosphere since 1979. The report showed that selective corrections to the atmospheric data could lead to some warming, thus reducing the conflict between observations and models descriptions of what greenhouse warming should look like. That, to me, means the case is still very much open..." This sounds to me like he would only accept absolute proof, which, of course, isn't going to happen. Maybe another interesting hurricane season might sway him, although the recent flooding event in New England apparently didn't. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
