That is too bad. I've enjoyed Koonin's books on computational physics. The one WSJ article of his I read, begins like this; " The idea that "Climate science is settled" runs through today's popular and policy discussions. Unfortunately, that claim is misguided. It has not only distorted our public and policy debates on issues related to energy, greenhouse-gas emissions and the environment. But it also has inhibited the scientific and policy discussions that we need to have about our climate future." Which is the furthest from the truth on this issue. First, the claims are not misguided, there is no distortion of what is needed in public policy, and there are certainly no lack of knowledge about the effects that greenhouse-gas emission from fossil fuels on the environment. We've seen reports from around the world describing those effects.
It's a shame that someone with that brain power has to waste it being a tool for the deniers and a stooge for the destruction of earth.
