Quality versus Quantity: Richard Lindzen takes on the Commissars of CO2 Alarm

Richard Lindzen is one of our most distinguished theoreticians of meteorology. His track record of innovation and detailed analyses is outstanding, and yet his voice has been all but drowned out by the hullaballoo being raised by a dramatically risen tide of newly-coined ‘climate scientists’ and associated political and financial opportunists. These are people who … Continue reading →

If he is right, then these two quite mediocre scientists helped keep the political world on a foolish and destructive path. Those who wish to see an end to capitalism, i.e. to lively markets and individual freedom, have seized upon this notion that our industrial and agricultural achievements, which came out of capitalist societies, are so harmful that capitalism itself must be ‘destroyed’.
