The Reference Frame: Cooler Heads: Richard Lindzen on cap-and-trade
Lindzen picks (the BBC and) MIT president Susan Hockfield with her "accelerating global warming" as an example of the brainwashed laymen who are presented as the intellectual elites whose sensibilities the GOP politicians are not allowed to "insult".
...
Returning to Hockfield, she answered Dick by the usual arrogant "best consensus" statements about the IPCC, even though the IPCC said nothing about any "acceleration". Richard's main point is that appeals to (would-be) authorities have replaced scientific arguments among all these people.
