I’m a K-state grad, though when walking those grounds I wore a much younger man’s Wranglers.
A lot of the professors there, particularly in the soft sciences, are as guilty of the `me too!’ fallacy as local newspapers in small towns are of wanting to be the NYT.
The comment following the article is probably typical of the way most Wildcats thought about this lecture:

“It is vacuous speech at best. No one questions the fact that climate changes. The question is, are we warming, cooling, about to enter a cooling phase, increased warming, the level of cooling or warming and the proximate causes. Significant numbers of physicists, climatologists, meteorologists, geologists, and others would disagree with this pontificating psychologist. It’ always amusing to listen to clowns like him implying those who disagree with him are wrong and they simply need to change their thinking. Perhaps he and those who espouse his drivel should accept the data that exonerate man as the prime mover of climate change.”
IOW, don’t pizzle on my Noconas and tell me it’s raining.
