Dr. Richard Lindzen's Talk at Fermilab

Richard Lindzen PhD, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was recently invited to give a talk entitled "The Peculiar Issue of Global Warming" at Fermilab 2/10/10 which you can watch in its entirety with slides here. Dr. Lindzen calmly eviscerates the theory of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) and the IPCC "consensus". Highly recommended. Some of the key slides from the presentation are archived at the link below. Below are 3 slides from the presentation, the first noting that the theory of intelligent design sounds rigorous by comparison to the theory of anthropogenic global warming, the second noting that 3 pro-CAGW publications have already acknowledged that temperature data has contradicted the man-made attribution assumption (primarily CO2), which is the inherent assumption of the IPCC models, and the third noting that the fundamental assumption of CAGW that there is positive feedback by water vapor due to CO2 is "likely wrong".

  1. Those coasts need some reshaping with scientific tsunamis. It's almost enough to make one wish for that deadly process, Global Cooling.

    But that would be suicidal. Pray for slow, steady Warming to continue for a few more millennia.

  2. Seawater temperature regulates the CO2-content of the atmosphere with some years delay:

    The basic ideas of this paper may be summarised in the following conclusions:

    1) The ozeans are and has always been the most important carbon sinks, Fig. 3.

    2) The effect of humans is much less than 5% of the natural carbon cycle.

    3) Huge amounts of CO2 are released from the sea, when sun heats up the thin surface layer of seawater, Fig 6. There are delays in this process due to diffusion and convection.

    4) In cold areas ozeans absorb huge amounts of CO2, Fig. 6. There are delays in this process due to diffusion and convection.

    5) Deep ozeans contain gigantic amounts of carbon, because carbon dissolution into seawater increases along with the pressure, Fig. 8.

  3. Bu**er the sensibilities of the ignorant classes.
