Cooler climate for Rudd


Cooler climate for Rudd | The Australian
FREEMAN Dyson is a polymath. His first career was as a Cambridge mathematician.
Then he developed an interest in quantum mechanics and nuclear physics. He's also something of a futurologist, an authority on nuclear non-proliferation issues and a gifted explainer of science to general audiences.

For 40 years his day job was as a professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Another claim to fame is that he's one of the most eminent scientists among the growing band of global warming sceptics.

To its credit, The New York Review of Books numbers Dyson among its stable and in its June 12 edition has published a fascinating review by him of two climate science books.

If Dyson is a polymath, does that make Al Gore a monodunce?
