	Climate Expert Contends Public Misled About "Global Warming"
		Lindzen is one of the leading critics of the claim that increasing atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases have "ominous implications" for mankind or the environment.
		Lindzen began the presentation with a quick climate history of the last one hundred years and what that history means within the context of this debate.
		Lindzen argued that, "If most current climate models, which predict about four degrees Celsius warming for a doubling of CO2, are correct, then man has accounted for three to four times the observed warming over the past century with some unknown processes of unprecedented magnitude canceling the difference.

	Global Warming as a Religion
		Lindzen is a professor at MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences.
		Lindzen said scientists must be allowed to conclude that 'we don't have a problem." And if the answer turns out to be 'we don't have a problem,' we have to figure out a better reward than cutting off people's funding.
		The only consensus that Lindzen said exists on the issue of climate change is the impact of the Kyoto Protocol, the international treaty to limit greenhouse gases, which the U.S. does not support.

		Richard Lindzen, who we just mentioned, for example, compares global warming to eugenics as an abuse of science.
		Dr Lindzen himself, his research is publicly funded, but Dr Lindzen makes, as he told me, $2,500 a day consulting with fossil fuel interests, and that includes his consulting with OPEC, his consulting with the Australian coal industry, his consulting with the US coal industry and so forth.
		That's not to say Dr Lindzen doesn't believe what he says, but it is to say that he stands in very sharp distinction to really just about virtually all of the climate scientists around the world.

	IPCC Report Criticized by One of Its Lead Authors
		Lindzen briefly discussed a paper he published in the March 2001 issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, clarifying the water vapor feedback issue.
		For example, Lindzen said, scientists can more-or-less live with the idea conveyed in the IPCC report that everything is connected to everything else, and everything is uncertain.
		Lindzen also noted the margin of error used in the IPCC report is much smaller, a 60 percent confidence level, than traditionally used by scientists, who generally report results at the 95 or even 99 percent confidence level.

	National Policy Analysis #336: Natural Heat Vent May Counter Global Warming - May 2001
		Just recently, a team of scientists led by Dr. Richard Lindzen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology published a paper in which they theorize that there could be a natural "vent" in the Earth's atmosphere that releases heat into space.
		Lindzen is critical of climate modelers for failing to take into account the complex role of clouds in regulating temperature: "We found that there were terrible errors about clouds in all the models, and that that will make it impossible to predict" long-term temperature change.3
		Lindzen says that the study's results as well as scientific evidence on other natural climate processes should give global warming theorists considerable pause before recommending economically-drastic measures, such as the Kyoto Treaty, to combat the unproven man-made warming threat.

	Reason
		Lindzen, after looking at cloud data in the tropical Pacific, is suggesting that warmer sea surface temperatures would increase the production of rainy cumulus clouds, which would, in turn, reduce the amount of moisture that remains in the cold upper atmosphere.
		Lindzen likens this process to the iris of an eye—a mechanism that adjusts to let in or keep out something, light in the case of the iris, and heat in the case of the atmosphere.
		If the effect is as strong as Lindzen’s research indicates it might be, it would substantially reduce the amount of future global warming, despite current projections by climate computer models that don’t account for this effect.

	Climate may have infra-red iris (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Richard Lindzen, a meteorologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and colleagues at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland used satellite measurements of sea surface temperature and cloud cover over the equatorial Pacific Ocean from Australia to the Hawaiian Islands.
		Lindzen's pacific heat-vent model "would knock it down to a half a degree or maybe one-point something", he says.
		Lindzen admits that more data will be needed before the potential effect of the system can be verified, but because cumulus clouds occur world-wide, he's confident that the heat vent is widespread.

	IPCC report criticized by one of its lead authors - by Paul Georgia - The Heartland Institute

		Lindzen also noted the margin of error used in the IPCC report is much smaller, a 60 percent confidence level, than traditionally used by scientists, who generally report results at the 95 or even 99 percent confidence level.
		Indeed, Lindzen noted, Mario Molina and Sherwood Rowland were awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work on ozone depletion--not for alerting the world, but for "alarming" it.

		Lindzen, one of the world’s foremost atmospheric scientists, identified a number of strategies used by the IPCC and its political allies in pushing the theory of catastrophic global warming and its attendant agenda of global emissions regulation.
		Professor Lindzen, the lead author of Chapter 7 (on Physical Processes) of the IPCC's upcoming Third Assessment Report, brought home the disconnect between the science and the summary with an anecdote about his own work on the 1995 report.
		Lindzen found his work so distorted, he asked his name be de-listed as an author — but, "they refused." Although global warming partisans often point to a list of thousands of scientists attached to the IPCC reports, many of the scientists listed, like Lindzen differ with the reports’ summaries and conclusions.

	Reason: Betting on Climate Change: It's time to put up or shut up (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I reported a bet by MIT climatologist Richard Lindzen that in 20 years global average temperatures would be lower than they are now.
		From Lindzen's point of view, any such bet would be between people like Annan, who are convinced by climate model projections that average global temperatures should be increasing about 0.3C per decade, and people who think it's even odds that temperatures will be lower than they are now in 20 years.
		In contrast, climate model projections predict a warming of 1.4 to 5.8 degrees Celsius by 2100, though a new study in January suggested global warming could be "Twice as Bad as Previously Thought," with an upper projection of average global temperatures reaching 11 degrees Celsius.

		Richard Lindzen (MIT) is often described as the most respectable of the climate 'sceptics' and is frequently cited in discussions here and elsewhere.
		Lindzen, GRL, 2002) that lags in the surface temperature due to ocean thermal inertia imply that the transient response is always smaller than the equilibrium response, and that additionally, there are other forcings in the system (specifically land-use change and aerosols) that counteract the forcing from greenhouse gases alone.
		Lindzen goes on to claim that uncertainty in the forcings (particular solar and aerosols) imply that the result is somehow 'fixed' to give the observed result.

		They travel around the world several times a year for several years to write it and the summary for policymakers has the input of about 13 of the scientists, but ultimately, it is written by representatives of governments, of environmental organizations like the Union of Concerned Scientists, and industrial organizations, each seeking their own benefit.

	The Heroic Richard Lindzen on Global Warming - Mises Economics Blog
		Richard Lindzen is one of the heroic challengers to the scientific establishment on the topic of global warming, yet you don't often hear about him.
		Lindzen was one of an 11-man National Academies of Science panel that in 2001 concluded that: "Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise.
		Lindzen recognizes that water vapor is a postive feedback, but had held out for a "lensing effect" of reduced high clouds to counterbalance that amplification, which his peers estimate will lead to a range of 2 to 4.5 degrees C for a CO2 doubling.
