Anyways, here's an interesting take. The tropics and anti-Tropics are different climates so the greenhouse effect only affects the Tropics. Then there's the Coriollis Effect, but I'd have to watch that part again.
Why does the United Nations get to 'fact check' Youtube?  |
1) I suppose that the poles didn't get the memo, as they're warming faster than the tropics.
2) Richard Lindzen was debunked by his own colleagues by 1989. He, nor the half-dozen others spouting the same rubbish had any specialized education in greenhouse research.
3) Lindzen never has an algorithm, he never calculated anything, and had no evidence to support his hypotheses, but nevertheless, claimed that he had a better climate model in his head than the climatologists who wrote actual climate models for the supercomputers required to process the tens of thousands of pages of code.
4) MIT meteorologist Kerry Emmanuel's climate model sucked so bad that he accurately predicted Hurricane Katrina.
5) Other climate modeller suckees which rejected Lindzen's claims:
* Syukuro Manabe, NOAA Geophysical Laboratory, Princeton University
* Wolfgang Knorr, climate modeller
* Michael MacCracken, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
* Jerry D. Mahlman, NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratoty
Stephen Schreider, National Center for Atmospheric Research ( NCAR ), Boulder, Colorado
* Peter Stone, Meteorology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
* Alan Betts, Specialist, mechanics of convection, Middlebury, Vermont
