Global Warming on Free Republic

He is the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
However, in the past several months, two professors have been fired from universities in Australia for speaking out about the global warming fraud: Professors Bob Carter and Murry Salby, who questioned the severity of man’s influence on the climate. See the excellent presentation by Prof. Carter at this link:
For your Ping lists.
well now that it is a civil rights issue we HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
Global warming is the geocentric solar system model of our age.
The Church of Global Climate Change bible:
In the beginning, nothing created the Heavens and the Earth. Then, coal and SUVs destroyed it. The End.
Perverse incentives...
Global warming is perhaps a religion to low-information voters imo. For corrupt lawmakers it’s a way to justify earmark spending.
It is still an interesting and open question how weather patterns might change when the earth warms a bit from CO2. Weather patterns might not change much at all, they might become more benign or might become more amplified. Lindzen basically recognized that weather dictates the equator to pole heat transport and therefor the global average temperature.
Meanwhile Trenberth was looking at nuances within models like Pacific ocean cycles (ENSO and PDO). Decades later those simulations still stink. Almost a decade after Lindzen pointed out the critical role of poleward heat transport in determine global energy balance, Trenberth was writing navel-gazing papers that end with "Of course, changes in planetary waves and storm tracks make an enormous difference to the climate locally, so this conclusion is not intended to diminish the vital role of atmospheric dynamics. But it does mean that there are important constraints, as noted by Stone (1978), which helps provide some justification for simpler ‘‘energy balance’’ models of the climate system."
Hence the now very famous depictions of static energy balances determining the global temperature. It is BS because the earth would not have maintained a narrow range of temperature without the dynamics that Trenberth ignores. The energy balance cannot stop any positive or negative feedbacks from boiling or freezing the planet, only weather can do that. As Lindzen put it "...such warming as may arise from increasing greenhouse gases will be indistinguishable from the fluctuations in climate that occur naturally from processes internal to the climate system itself."
Of course it is. It’s not science.

MIT professor: global warming is a ‘religion’
I believe I'd be happier with the term "cult," or better still, "Marxist cult."
I wouldn’t enter into any long term contracts if I were him....for this heresy the left will have his head!!!!
