I was unaware he had passed.
I used to read his stuff regularly in the Washington Times.
He was an intellectual giant.
I always wonder - what was on the menu?
We lost a good one in Mr. Singer. RIP sir.

Amen to that. A voice of reason fighting the scam invented and promulgated by the “How to get rich by selling the threat of climate change” crowd.
He will be missed.
No doubt some sort of International fare.
I was fortunate enough to take a college course from Fred Singer. He taught me a new way of thinking. Great mind. Big loss. Blessings to his family
I knew Fred Singer at the University of Virginia. A physicist by training, Fred was a member of the Environmental Sciences department, but he used to hang out occasionally with some of the economics faculty at morning tea at the Colonnade Hotel pavilion on the Jefferson-designed Lawn. Singer knew more about the oil industry (prices, production, and market structure) than any of the economists, and he was especially insightful during the OPEC-II oil disruptions of 1979. Singer always considered himself a climate-change “skeptic,” not a “denier.” His dissertation committee at Princeton was comprised of John Wheeler, Robert Oppenheimer, and Niels Bohr. Not too shabby.
Fairly erudite gaggle of appraisers it appears.
Singer was truly a giant in the field.
I read his journal articles in 1965 space and planetary atmospheric science in grad school. Followed him ever since.
