The wife claims I have one
really big fan who visited
here 25,000 times.
Ha, ha !
And I'm not sure
what she means
by "big".
Because that's
the same wife
who loves to point out
other women behind me,
when we are in public,
and tells me to look.
but not to stare,
so then I HAVE to look,
my head spins around,
and it is always
a really fat woman!
Nice to have a wife
with a sense of humor!
In reading about climate science
every week since 1997,
one of the two best quotes
I have ever found, was from
a PhD atmospheric science
professor from MIT, in 2009,
shown below,
with his long, complex sentence
re-formatted for easier reading
on smart phones:
“Future generations will wonder
in bemused amazement
that the early twenty-first century’s
developed world
went into a 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.”
Dr. Richard S. Lindzen, PhD
MIT Professor
of Atmospheric Sciences,
member of the
National Academy of Sciences,
and former lead author,
U.N. Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC)
Another good quote,
from page 445
of a great 2009 book,
"Heaven and Earth":
“As this book shows,
the global warming movement
ignores unfashionable
rigorous science
such as geology,
astronomy
and solar physics.
If science
is selectively used,
and large bodies
of validated science
are dismissed, then the
global warming movement
is not underpinned
by science.
… The real problems
of pollution
can not be ignored.
However, in the case of
the effect of CO2 on climate,
the correct solution
to the non-problem of CO2,
is to have the courage
to thoughtfully do nothing.”
Professor Ian Plimer
Plimer was a two-time winner
of Australia’s highest scientific honor,
the Eureka Prize, and a professor
in the School of Earth
and Environmental Sciences
at the University of Adelaide.
