There’s a strory doing the rounds that Ivar Giaever, a scientist who shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physics, challenged Mr. Obama in a July 1 speech at the 65th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau, Germany.
“I say this to Obama: ‘Excuse me, Mr. President, but you’re wrong.’ He’s dead wrong,” Mr. Giaever said in a video of his 30-minute speech posted on the website Climate Depot, which first reported the story.
But how is a sceptic to deal with this? Ivar, is just a person and as likely to be wrong as any alarmist. A year ago, he would clearly have been bucking the trend and indeed potentially risking his career and reputation, but now it is almost trendy to be a sceptic.
So what is Ivar claiming:
“I would say that basically global warming is a non-problem,”
That is just a statement of the fact that there is no problems anyone can identify linked to global warming.
“Giaever said his climate research was eye opening. “I was horrified by what I found” after researching the issue in 2012, he noted.
Been there done that – totally agree.
“Global warming really has become a new religion. Because you cannot discuss it. It’s not proper. It is like the Catholic Church.”
True
“the people who are alarmist are in a very strong position”
There speaks someone talking about the problems of academia and from the perspective of a group who still believe that people are gullible enough to actually listen to them.
“Giaever accused NASA and federal scientists of “fiddling” with temperatures.”
I’d certainly convict them of fraud if I were on a jury.
“The other thing that amazes me is that when you talk about climate change it is always going to be the worst. It’s got to be better someplace for heaven’s sake. It can’t always be to the worse,”
How long did it take him to realise this?
That’s about all I can find to criticise (except I don’t really like the colour of his shirt – not really cream nor brown, kind of “sitting on the fence” sort of colour.
But apart from the shirt – Ivar presents a very good summary of all that is wrong with the global warming scam. So well worth reading:
