Larry King: Bill Nye vs. Richard Lindzen

Richard Lindzen was on Larry King Live a few nights ago discussing Global Warming with a panel of experts that included Bill Nye the Science Guy. A TV personality and former sketch comedy member against an atmospheric physicist and a professor of meteorology at MIT. Julian Morris and Lindzen make excellent points for which the alarmists have no answer. It's the same old song and dance, they always mention the "consensus" and the IPCC report.

I was camping in Northern Alaska, when a kodiak bear came to my site. As he rushed me, I picked up my shot gun. The kodiak just swiped it away. He then knocked me over and jumped on me. I closed my eyes in terror.

When I opened them again, I saw Bill Nye the bear's mouth open with one hand, all five fingers spread in his maw. With his other hand he punched into the bear's chest and ripped his fuckin' heart out. He handed me his bow tie and simply said, "Science. Respect." and walked away.

In 1988, Michael Mann (if you don't know who he is your opinion on Climate Change is worthless) forecast that the West Side Highway in Manhattan would be submerged by 2008. Nuff said.

Lindzen's a fucking idiot XD

[BillDaBurgerEater]

Lindzen is the only one on there with worldclass recognition as an expert, the rest are at best fear mongerors and at worst charlatans

@porterwake It's the only way to get the data to fit their models. Carbon dioxide is not limited to the troposphere and Methan doesn't go through catalysis until it is exposed to uv radiation. Water vapor in clouds reflect light, So shouldn't the stratosphere be warming @ an almost equal level? Venus's atsmophere is actually warmer above twenty thousand feet, Isn't that the prime model for run away greenhouse? But, as I said, I'm all for reducing pollution, just don't take my job.

@porterwake Actaul temperature data starts in 1659. Before that, we only have written accounts and the ice cores. The ice cores have known to be off by as much as 30 degrees over a season but, I'll give you, trends are measurable. Among the most recent observations, especially satelites, data is only available since 1967. The satelites show that the stratosphere is Cooling. Mainstream science say this is due to concerntrations of greenhouse gasses, ..Cont..

EVERYONE will be wealthy enough to overcome? Lol we depend on fossil fuels and other limited resources. Billionaires are lobbying against the transition to smarter alternatives because they will go bankrupt. The world will not be more wealthy because these transitions will never happen. And the earth has only so much to give. Things will remain the same. Talk about no evidence or study in support of a bullshit claim.

And now Julian Morris's IPN has shut its doors.

The closure of the free market IPN follows years of controversy about Exxon funding, alleged links to the tobacco industry and contested claims about Aids and the pesticide DDT.

Who would you trust?
