Not sure I trust these “highly credentialed” persons any more than any other contemporary “academicians.”
It simp0ly isn’t going to be possible to find “experts” today that haven’t spent the entirety of their learning lives steeping in the “educational” soup of Marxist indoctrination.
Lindzen and Curry have been rocks in defending scientific rationality in this whole “climate change” fracas, and they’ve taken plenty of verbal arrows for their efforts. Fortunately, they are so well-established in their fields that they haven’t been affected that much, and they have enough self-confidence that they haven’t shown any evidence of being intimidated.
As an example, here’s Lindzen’s opinion of the activities of the global warming alarmists, as given on the Larry King show: “I think it’s mainly just like little kids locking themselves in dark closets to see how much they can scare each other and themselves.”
This is really good news, because it puts the lie to the assertion that “the science is settled”. Well, according to the American Physical Society, one of the most prestigious of the scientific organizations, it certainly is not, or they wouldn’t be doing this.
Georgia Tech and MIT are heavy hitters... their report might be interesting....
