Mototaka Nakamura, PhD
Earned his PhD at MIT,
and has worked for MIT,
Georgia Institute
of Technology, NASA,
Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
California Institute
of Technology and
Duke University.
His book
"The Global Warming
Hypothesis is an
Unproven Hypothesis,"
explains why global mean
temperatures before 1980
are based on
"untrustworthy data."
"Before full planet surface
observation by satellite
began in 1980, only a
small part of the Earth
had been observed
for temperatures with
only a certain amount
of accuracy
and frequency,"
he says.
"Across the globe,
only North America
and Western Europe
have trustworthy
temperature data
dating back to the
19th century."
Richard Lindzen, PhD,
an emeritus professor
of atmospheric sciences
at MIT who has published
more than 200 scientific
papers, says in a video
produced by PragerU:
"it seems that the less
the climate changes,
the louder the voices
of the climate
alarmists get."
He pointed out that
the United Nations
International Panel
on Climate Change,
the IPCC, admitted
in its 2007 paper
that the
"long-term prediction
of future climate states
is not possible."
Lindzen points
to politicians,
activists and
the media:
"Global warming
provides them,
more than
any other issue,
with the things
they most want."
For politicians,
it's power and money."
For activists, it's money
for their organizations and
"confirmation of their
near-religious devotion
to the idea that man
is a destructive force
acting upon nature."
For the media,
Lindzen says,
"it's ideology,
money and
headlines."
"Doomsday
scenarios
sell."
