MIT Climate Scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen urges Trump: “Cut the funding of climate science by 80% to 90% until the field cleans up’
“They should probably cut the funding by 80 to 90 percent until the field cleans up,
“Climate science has been set back two generations, and they have destroyed its intellectual foundations.”
'Groupthink has so corrupted the field that funding should be sharply curtailed rather than redirected.'
“Even in 1990 no one at MIT called themselves a ‘climate scientist,’ and then all of a sudden everyone was. They only entered it because of the bucks; they realized it was a gravy train. You have to get it back to the people who only care about the science.”
The late (and great) Dr Michael Crichton estimated that banning DDT killed more people (from malaria) than Adolf Hitler. William Ruckelshaus was responsible for that decision, but his inspiration was the popular and seriously inaccurate books by the late Rachel Carson. Results really do matter a lot more than good intentions.
