Wow, this is going WAY back!
SCIENCE, Volume 246, 1 December 1989, pages 1118,1119, Research News, had an article:
''Greenhouse Skeptic Out in the Cold' A prominent meteorologist says the greenhouse warming will probably be a bust; experts in and out of the climate community staunchly disagree with the latest iconoclast'
Lindzen had coauthored a letter to oilman President George Bush in support of a report by the George C. Marshall Institute, which dismissed the current forecasts of greenhouse warming.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of 1989, James Hansen's 1988 general circulation model, with coal-fired power plant atmospheric sulfate aerosol effects added, had perfectly predicted 'reality'.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lindzen had, as it turns out, a bizarre theory about a so-called negative feedback mechanism involving dry air transport into the troposphere which would negate the effects of increased carbon dioxide. He offered no 'model,' no 'math', no calculations, no observed evidence supporting the so-called mechanism.
And Lindzen admitted that the model-predicted, 2-degree Celsius global warming Climate Sensitivity to carbon dioxide, was consistent with the observed warming.
Even Harvard educated, Sloan Professors at MIT, and members of the National Academy of Sciences must be 'scientific.'
