Ivar Giaever, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973 for work on superconductors, said people warning about the coming global dangers of climate change are “dead wrong” – including President Barack Obama, who stated it being the greatest threat to future generations -- at a speech given at a recent
Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting.
“First: nothing in science is incontrovertible. Second: the “measured” average temperature increase in 100 years or so, is 0.8 Kelvin. Third: since the Physical Society claim it has become warmer, why is everything better than before? Fourth: the maximum average temperature ever measured was in 1998, 17 years ago. When will we stop wasting money on alternative energy?” he reportedly told the audience.
“I think the temperature has been amazingly stable,”
I only wish he will live long enough to regret his addled statements.
