Fascinating

What's interesting is that according to him, there term "climatologist" is relatively new, and that there's no way to test temperature differences throughout time.

Sorry but the Cato institute is not a reputable source for science. As for Mr Lindzen, skeptical science has a page specifically for him.

Good post. But you will infuriate the AGW alarmists. They hate people who challenge their prognostications.

People have gone through and shredded his arguments for many years, and even Bill Nye owned him on Larry King back in 2007.

That people still hold dear to his refuted lies after all these years is signs of how desperate they are to refute the massive volumes of climate data. I am not sorry that the theory of global warming is on par with the theory of gravity, the theory of plate tectonics, and germ theory. Get over it and come back to rationality.

Gravity is just a theory you know! Therefore its not real, and jumping off a large building wont have anything bad happen to you. Because hey, its JUST a theory.

And hey remember, the one guy who said the best way to learn to fly was to trip yourself, and then on the way down....distract yourself, and if you did so JUST right, and suspended your belief you could fly!

Examine the message, not the messenger. I have no idea nor any particular interest in how this particular message stacks up against the evidence, nor have I looked into this particular facet of the global warming debate, but I would just like to point that out.

It doesn't stack up against the evidence. The overwhelming evidence is that global warming is happening now, and at an accelerated rate. There is no denying it.

Something as simple as dendrochronology can tell you fairly accurately what the climate has been year by year over centuries.

Tree ring data shows a decline in temperature since the 60's and there is no explanation. That's actually where the famous "hide the decline" statement came from. They spliced observed temperature data onto the tree ring data to "hide the decline".

There are volumes of data.

There is no clear "proof" of "how" or "why", nor is actually clear "what".
