Global Warming & Greentech by Richard Lindzen - EcoWorld

In this transcript of a presentation by Dr. Richard Lindzen at GoingGreen East, delivered this past March in Boston, he correctly points out that if the global climate displayed positive feedbacks, which all climate models that predict disaster depend on, the planet would have burned up eons ago. There are many reasons why alarm over greenhouse gas emissions is misplaced, but this is one of the most elegant yet.

Happer noted that climate change has long worried humans.

“Sometimes the obsession for control of the climate got a bit out of hand, as in the Aztec [society] where the local scientific/religious establishment of the year 1500 had long since announced that the debate was over and at least 20,000 human sacrifices a year were needed to keep the sun moving, the rain falling; and thus stop climate change. The widespread dissatisfaction of the [neighboring tribes] who were unfortunate enough to be the source of these sacrifices played an important part in the success of the Spanish conquest of Mexico.”

Professor Happer also pointed to Switzerland in June, 1644, when the Bishop of Geneva led a flock of believers to the face of a glacier that was advancing “by over a musket shot” every day, and threatening a village. The Bishop and his flock prayed over the glacier, “and it is said to have stopped.”

“I predict that future historians will look back on this period much as we now view Prohibition. . . . Deeply sincere people thought they were saving humanity from the evils of alcohol, just as many people now sincerely think they are saving humanity from the evils of CO2. . . . Like the temperance movement 100 years ago, the climate-catastrophe movement has enlisted the mass media, the leadership of scientific societies, the trustees of foundations, and many other influential people to their cause. Even elementary school teachers and writers of children’s books are enlisted to terrify our children and promote the idea of impending climate doom,” Happer warned.
