Richard Lindzen at the House of Commons...

I'll let James Delingpole (my favorite English Conservative) introduce him:
Professor Richard Lindzen is one of the world's greatest atmospheric physicists: perhaps the greatest. What he doesn't know about the science behind climate change probably isn't worth knowing. But even if you weren't aware of all this, even if you'd come to the talk he gave in the House of Commons this week without prejudice or expectation, I can pretty much guarantee you would have been blown away by his elegant dismissal of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming theory.

Dick Lindzen does not need to raise his voice. He does not use hyperbole. In a tone somewhere between weariness and withering disdain, he lets the facts speak for themselves. And the facts, as he understands them, are devastating.
Follow the links in Delingpole's article to get more information.  You can read Professor Lindzen's presentation (PDF) yourself – I recommend it as an excellent summary of the debate.  In particular, it highlights the critical issue of positive vs. negative feedback assumptions and how the models the AGW proponents rely on consistently get it wrong...

Kira Davis Apologizes...

Until this morning I had never heard of Kira Davis.  I ran across the video below, and then I wanted to know more:



I'd like to know when she's running for office, so I can move to her district and vote for her!
