:tup: try doign some research about who you are posting articles by, like some one in a different field of climantology
Richard Siegmund Lindzen (born February 8, 1940) is an atmospheric physicist and a professor of meteorology at MIT renowned for his research in dynamic meteorology - especially atmospheric waves.
He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Science and Economic Advisory Council of the Annapolis Center for Science-Based Public Policy.[1] He previously held positions at the University of Chicago and Harvard University.
He was a lead author of Chapter 7 of the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report of 2001.[2]
and some one, that himself has posted incorrect work
In September 2003 Lindzen wrote an open letter to the mayor of Newton, Massachusetts (Lindzen’s home),[16] his views on global warming and the Kyoto Accord. He says “… [T]he impact of CO2 on the Earth’s heat budget is nonlinear. What this means is that although CO2 has only increased about 30% over its pre-industrial level, the impact on the heat budget of the Earth due to the increases in CO2 and other man influenced greenhouse substances has already reached about 75% of what one expects from a doubling of CO2, and that the temperature rise seen so far is much less (by a factor of 2-3) than models predict (assuming that all of the very irregular change in temperature over the past 120 years or so – about 1 degree F – is due to added greenhouse gases-- a very implausible assumption).”.
when in reality
However the statement the temperature rise seen so far is much less (by a factor of 2-3) than models predict is not correct.[17] See climate model for more information.
and if you read articles he has written, not just select ones which he has later changed opinion about, he says we are going about this the wrong way. He has other theorys about how we should be handling the limitation of CO2 and CO, which again that article you posted did not mention any effects of.
The fact that CH4 has increased about 150% over pre industrial age levels, scares me, and the fact that carbon monoxide multiplies its effects of CH4.
than you get into the whole situation of who he actually works for
According to a former Boston Globe reporter and author, Ross Gelbspan, Lindzen has accepted money from oil and coals interests for consulting services, expert testimony, and speech writing. In a 1995 article in Harper’s Magazine, Gelbsan asserted that Lindzen charged “oil and coal interests $2,500 a day for his consulting services; [and] his 1991 trip to testify before a Senate committee was paid for by Western Fuels and a speech he wrote, entitled ‘Global Warming: the Origin and Nature of Alleged Scientific Consensus,’ was underwritten by OPEC.”[24]
so please stop being a blind conservative and open your eyes, go to a wast to energy plant and see how much NOx SOx and COx are scrubbed out by the SDA’s, see what is used to control the release of all of these gases. See the levels of the gases would be released with out these controls. And the fact that there is an expotential increase in these gasses, not linear is another main point that people miss.
I write operation reports for about 5 Waste to Energy plants, I deal with emessions caps of another two plants for a living. You are only reading a very biased report, and not actually doing anythign to educate yourself with the truth.
