"There is a lot of money to be made in this," he added. "If you want to be an eminent scientist you have to have a lot of grad students and a lot of grants. You can't get grants unless you say, 'Oh global warming, yes, yes, carbon dioxide.'"

It’s really that simple...

Motive?? Money???? Who would have thunk!

By the way, our local meteoroligist stepped to the plate, too. His words: "You're being fed a lot of baloney on global warming. The earth and its' atmosphere is in constant change."

I'm curious about the word "hooey". Was this ever the scientist's term or was it used by the writer as a means of labelling him "out of date".

"It's HOOEY, I say!"

"It's like there is an elephant charging in and you worry about the fact that there is a fly sitting on its head.

Well stated. But he's such a skeptic. How can we take him series-ly when smarter people - like Owl Gore - disagree?

I REALLY admire this man’s work. As the father of modern meteorlogy, the scientic community can’t ignore him as a crackpot.

"There is very little truth to what is being said and an awful lot of religion. It's almost a religion. Where you have to believe in anthropogenic (or man-made) global warming or else you are nuts."

I LOVE THIS MAN!

I'm not sure how such a guy can survive in Madison while avoiding assassination. Still, it's good to hear.

My daughter is a meteorologist. She has zero patience for people claiming to be erudite who preach the evil that men do causing global warming. She, too, tells the masses that we are still climbing out of the little ice age.

They don't always connect all the dots, but lately some of the educational type TV programs have taken to explaining existing knowledge of the sun and it's affect on virtually every aspect of our existence. Apparently, the sun affects the weather on Pluto. There is nothing, N-O-T-H-I-N-G, anyone, A-N-Y-O-N-E, even a hot air wind bag like al gore can do to affect the weather on this tiny little capsule where we live on the sun's porch.

They (with a capital "T") tell us we are all going to vaporize in 2050, sorry, now they moved it out to 2100. I guess it must be that we will have a temperate pattern until December 31, the Year of Our Lord 2099, and the thermometer will jump 20 or 100 degrees on January 1, the Year of Our Lord 2100. We have measured that the earth has warmed on the average of .6 degrees in the last half century. That's point six degrees. I really can't notice such a rise.

We have everything you can ever ask in global warming theories, everything, that is, but rising temperatures.

"Consensus doesn't prove anything, in science or anywhere else, except in democracy, maybe."

Correct -in 1492, the scientific consensus was that the world was flat.

In the mid 1600's Galileo was excommunicated for claiming the earth revolved around the sun..

“Hooey” is the gas coming from the warming globalists.

Were going to be listening to this end of the world BS for the next twenty year at least before it finally caves in as a bunch of hype. The many that resist the sky is falling mantra will be vindicated one day. But too bad this fellow will not live to see it.

This was at UW-Madison?? All-riiiight!

I guess not everyone there is a loony liberal. I almost went there for college, but the liberalism turned me away. Good to know there are sane people there.

I'm a grad student and according to my advisor, who is also the department chair and an editor of an important journal in our field, if a researcher claims some connection between his research and "global warming" or "climate change", then he's much more likely to receive funding.
