Thanks for the additional link

we need to get FOX, Rush, Hannity, et al, to get him - and others he could put us in touch with - on the screen and radio.
If we don't start hollering loud and clear, with reputable experts in the field, we are in grave danger of loosing a very big battle that will make the Darwin 'theory' look like child's play as to the impact on our and our children/grandchilren's lives...indeed, if they put this over, this country may never regain it's freedoms.
And we need to do it NOW as the lib/socialists are spring-boarding this issue into Nov. votes.

You are right, we need to get this publicized. The liberals are beating the drums day and night, this is their big effort to bring Gore back to legitimacy and get the intents of the Kyoto Protocol implemented. If they win all conservative progress will be dumped and much of our liberties and lifestyle dismantled. These are extremely ignorant and dangerous people. They will not be swayed by fact, it's all about how they feel and FEAR! If they are able to intimidate enough scientists we will all suffer under their "benign" leadership.

I found an earlier article written by Lindzen but it was undated. It sounds like it is from the 1990's. He writes about how 'global warming' became an issue after the end of the Cold War. I found this part regarding Al gore very interesting:

At the same time (1990), political pressures on dissidents from the "popular vision'' increased. Sen. Gore publicly admonished "skeptics'' in a lengthy New York Times op-ed piece. In a perverse example of double-speak he associated
the "true believers'' in warming with Galileo. He also referred, in another article, to the summer of 1988 as the Kristallnacht before the warming holocaust.

And further down:

Most recently, I testified at a Senate hearing conducted by Sen. Gore. There was a rather arcane discussion of the water vapor in the upper troposphere. Two years ago, I had pointed out that if the source of water vapor in that region in the tropics was from deep clouds, then surface warming would be accompanied by reduced upper level water vapor. Subsequent research has established that there must be an additional source--widely believed to be ice crystals thrown off by those deep clouds. I noted that that source too probably acts to produce less moisture in a warmer atmosphere. Both processes cause the major feedback process to become negative rather than positive. Sen. Gore asked whether I now rejected my suggestion of two years ago as a major factor. I answered that I did. Gore then called for the recording secretary to note that I had retracted my objections to "global warming.'' In the ensuing argument, involving mostly other participants in the hearing, Gore was told that he was confusing matters. Shortly thereafter, however, Tom Wicker published an article in the New York Times that claimed that I had retracted my opposition to warming and that that warranted immediate action to curb the purported menace. I wrote a letter to the Times indicating that my position had been severely misrepresented, and, after a delay of over a month, my letter was published. Sen. Gore nonetheless claims in his book that I have indeed retracted my scientific objections to the catastrophic warming scenario and also warns others who doubt the scenario that they are hurting humanity.

This guy really sticks his neck out and the 'alarmists' hate him for disagreeing with them.
