Professor Lennart Bengtsson - the leading scientist who three weeks ago signalled his defection to the climate sceptic camp by joining the board of the Global Warming Policy Foundation - has now dramatically been forced to resign from his position.
His views on the weakness of the "consensus" haven't changed. But as he admits in his resignation letter, he has been so badly bullied by his alarmist former colleagues that he is worried his health and career will suffer.
Bengtsson's recruitment by the GWPF (the London-based think tank set up by former Chancellor Lord Lawson) represented a huge coup for the climate realist cause. The Swedish climatologist, meteorologist, former director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg and winner, in 2006, of the 51st IMO Prize of the World Meteorological Organization for his pioneering work in numerical weather prediction - was by some margin the most distinguished scientist to change sides.
But this, of course, is why he has been singled out for especial vitriol by the climate alarmist establishment - as he describes in his resignation letter.

I had an X-wife like that, and she would have her say, with me listening.
Then I would respond , but she wasn't listening to me , but her mind was already busy formulating her next response to what she had just said.
The typical male response for survival would be : " Yes , Dear "
If that wasn't the reponse that was desired ,.. fate had already determined the relationship

“I have been put under such an enormous group pressure in recent days from all over the world that has become virtually unbearable to me.”
Why are the folks on our side such wimps? In the face of a little opposition they resign, back out of planned lectures, change their positions, etc. Maybe in this case because they are used to being part of the “in group”. GROW A PAIR AND STAND YOUR GROUND!
If Gore really believed his own propaganda, he would not have invested millions in a mansion in Pacific Palisades. Why buy property that would be future dolphin habitat? For America’s enemies, the goal is to cripple our economy. For career politicians like Gore the goal is to sell us out and get rich. We are on the verge of windfall riches from the oil and gas beneath our feet—we cannot let traitors rob us of that future.
Spot on.
“Burn Him!”
Climate “Science” is a religion, not a science. So I guess that makes Bengtsson a heretic. Maybe he can save his skin by slipping into Holland?
