Lindzen in Outside magazine

MIT climatologist Richard Lindzen is featured in an Outside magazine article here.

The closing paragraph:
"My best guess is, 20 years from now it will be accepted that global warming is not an issue, and everybody will claim they knew it all along," he [Lindzen] says, adding that he's not holding out hope of being recognized for his work by future generations. "Chances are, 20 years from now I'll be dead," he jokes, "and someone else will want to take credit."
Another quote from Lindzen is here:
...future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age.
