Deconstructing Global Warming
Listen to Michael Smith's chat with Professor Lindzen - Interview
Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology, Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences
Bio
Professor Lindzen is a dynamical meteorologist with interests in the broad topics of climate, planetary waves, monsoon meteorology, planetary atmospheres, and hydrodynamic instability. His research involves studies of the role of the tropics in mid-latitude weather and global heat transport, the moisture budget and its role in global change, the origins of ice ages, seasonal effects in atmospheric transport, stratospheric waves, and the observational determination of climate sensitivity.
He has made major contributions to the development of the current theory for the Hadley Circulation, which dominates the atmospheric transport of heat and momentum from the tropics to higher latitudes, and has advanced the understanding of the role of small scale gravity waves in producing the reversal of global temperature gradients at the mesopause, and provided accepted explanations for atmospheric tides and the quasi-biennial oscillation of the tropical stratosphere. He pioneered the study of how ozone photochemistry, radiative transfer and dynamics interact with each other.
He is currently studying what determines the pole to equator temperature difference, the nonlinear equilibration of baroclinic instability and the contribution of such instabilities to global heat transport. He has also been developing a new approach to air-sea interaction in the tropics, and is actively involved in parameterizing the role of cumulus convection in heating and drying the atmosphere and in generating upper level cirrus clouds. He has developed models for the Earth's climate with specific concern for the stability of the ice caps, the sensitivity to increases in CO2, the origin of the 100,000 year cycle in glaciation, and the maintenance of regional variations in climate.
Prof. Lindzen is a recipient of the AMS's Meisinger, and Charney Awards, the AGU's Macelwane Medal, and the Leo Huss Walin Prize. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society. He is a corresponding member of the NAS Committee on Human Rights, and has been a member of the NRC Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate and the Council of the AMS.
He has also been a consultant to the Global Modeling and Simulation Group at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and a Distinguished Visiting Scientist at California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. (Ph.D., '64, S.M., '61, A.B., '60, Harvard University)

Wow, looks like the right wingers have this blog covered.You have Abbott because Turnbull is an honest man and knows 'the truth', that climate change is REAL. Your spin doctors are giving the whole world a big laugh. Australia has the only political party, anywhere that steadfastly refuses to understand what is going on. Big business has again taken over the Liberals and are dictating policy. Yes Abbott will be 'road kill' in the next elections but 'they' don't care about anything but their profits, even if that kills everything and everyone. At least Turnbull has balls and is an honest man, why else did the 'power lobby' get rid of him? You deserve Abbott...lol.

Where there is money to be made there will always be the
risk of official or corporate
corruption.With the ETS the
amount of money involved is
enormous.Already allegations
of carbon trading corruption
have surfaced in PNG.Is there
anything to suggest that the
same cannot happen here or
anywhere else.The obvious
and correct answer is no.
Who is going to police this
and who is going to watch
them. It looks as though the
Rudds and Wongs of this world
want to create a nightmare
and then try to make us believe that it is all for
our own good.Thet might have
a hard time doing thatpeter hansen Sunday 29 November, 2009 - 10:20 AM -
Turnbull is about to go, and
Rudd will have to go to that
circus in Copenhagen without
his shiny new toy.The whole
ETS nonsense now might have
to be laid open to a real
investigaton,a thought that
terrifies people like Rudd
and Wong.We might even have
a Liberal leader with the
sense to listen to the real
Australians and the courage
to stand up to the climate
change fanatics.And all of
this because thousands of
average Australians screamed
out one word loudly and
clearly.That word was NO,no
ETS,no CPRS.What we might
have here is a victory for
People Power.Wouldnt that be
nice to see for oncepeter hansen Friday 27 November, 2009 - 10:26 PM -
Congratulations Tony Abbott and the other members who resigned today based on Principles and for not following like blind sheep. Can someone start looking after Mr and Mrs Joe Public, the ones paying all the bills.
