Chemist Dr. Martin Hertzberg’s response to NYT’s Paul Krugman: 'Hysteria is based on half-baked computer models’

By EPW Blog Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Dr. Martin Hertzberg’s response to NYT’s Paul Krugman: ‘Hysteria is based on half-baked computer models’ (Dr. Martin Hertzberg, a retired Navy meteorologist with a PhD in physical chemistry, is one of the more than 500 scientists featured in the U.S. Senate’s report of scientists dissenting from man-made global warming fears. See this U.S. Senate report.) Hertzberg

Excerpt: I am a lifelong liberal Democrat, but I am also a scientist. […] In this morning’s article “Can This Planet Be Saved”, you simply regurgitated the typical fear-mongering hysteria that the Gore-IPCC-Hansen clique promulgate without any serious consideration of the fact that that hysteria is based on half-baked computer models that have never been verified and that are totally our of touch with reality.” End Excerpt.

My landlord is a chemist. Retired. He says GW is a crock too. We agreed that it’s meant to control the behaviour of the masses. He escaped Poland 35 years ago.

A friend of mine went with some other people to some activity where a local TV meteorologist was present, and someone there asked him about Algore and his “Don Quixote” GW quest. He said it’s one of the biggest scams ever.

First, the evidence is all over that no warming is occurring, and second, it’s completely foolish to suppose that man is significant enough to cause it even if it were.

Krugman wants us all back in the gulag of 35 years ago...

[DJ MacWoW]

It's the height of egotism to suggest that we're destroying the earth. It reminds me of the ozone hole hoax only magnified.

The stupidity astounds me when people are totally serious and telling you that warming causes blizzards. They can't even HEAR themselves.

[DJ MacWoW]

The sad thing is my landlord, who escaped, is voting for Obama. He lived that crap and still can’t recognize it. He has always voted Republican but not this time.

. I am a lifelong liberal Democrat, but I am also a scientist. In your interview with Keith Obermann last night, there was an implication that somehow those of us who are human-caused global warming skeptics were all supported by big-oil money

My God! Olbermann interviewed Krugman? Who was preening more? Was the lens large enough to get both their heads in the shot simultaneously?

[wildbill]

Do any of these scientists’ rebuttals get published in the letters to the ed. or op-ed section of the NYT?

Sending an email to Krugman is like setting a computer in front of a Borneo aboriginal. He wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

It's the height of egotism to suggest that we're destroying the earth.

Whenever I'm talking to anyone who buys into this scam, I simply tell them to take Geology 101 and get the big picture to see the pure fantasy of Algore's absurd claims.
