Lindzen is emeritus (retired). He was one of the founders of the science of climatology, and is, ever was, and has remained skeptical of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming. He has been completely consistent and intellectualy honest for as long as anyone knows. He thinks human contributions to global warming are tiny, and largely beneficial.
He is the “polar” opposite of Micheal Mann. Give him props.
Linden is not on their side.
