Lindzen has asserted he does not like being called a skeptic because
he prefers that people call him a denier. Eg: when he was
interviewed on BBC's One Planet October 3 2010. A recording is
available here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009yfwl
Here is a transcript of the portion of the
I am not sure Lindzen is a denier. He simply has his own preferred lower
value (compared to Hansen) for the warming in degrees produced by defined
increases in CO2 concentration. That is hardly being a denier. Nor do I see
myself as a denier. However, I don't have an opinion about the ratio other

A new negative feedback has been observed which opens a possibility for a
temperature adjustment and cooling by cloud cover height alteration. New
reasearch suggests the upper atmosphere is getting colder or drier to the
extent that the cloud tops now reach 1% lower than 10 years ago.

As you say, there is uncertainty, and I would disagree with anyone who had
a preferred value rather than acknowledging uncertainty. It is possible
that Lindzen's lower value is correct, it is possible that Hansen's value is
correct (whatever those might be - though I do think the available data
I look forward to seeing how this holds up to scrutiny. Given the
latitudinal gradient of temperature, the result would seem to suggest that
clouds get lower as one goes toward the equator, and are lower during the
summer than the winter. Is this really the case?
