This is tragic, and hard to watch.
[NOTE: I’ve moved the video below the “read more” line, don’t go there if you don’t want to watch. I’ve put up his picture here instead. -A]
Good news- I found this Danish News report. (Google Translation)
He’s apparently OK for now. He wears a pacemaker and apparently it did something.
Good luck and godspeed to him.
So glad to learn of Svensmark’s recovery. He is a hero among researchers. I’m going to mail out a Get Well / Appreciation card first thing Monday; I hope he receives hundreds more in kind.

God save him for he is a real scientist!
Genuine good wishes to Mr Svensmark.
My disagement with his positions >.——————————————–<
That did not come out right…..
The formatting failed badly there……
Hope that Dr.Svensmark recovers fully from his pacemaker incident.
Speedy recovery, Mr Svensmark!
Glad to hear he is OK. Maybe he should think twice about hanging around big particle accelerators and transformers.
Henrik, take it easy! Let Jasper Kirby do the legwork!
Lovely commenters at youtube are calling it a “sign from above” and the like.
Nice people. Just like the CRU folk.
Poor guy – hope he recovers fully.
Thank God he’s going to be alright!
My father has a defibrillator that engages when condition it’s meant to combat manifests itself…it doesn’t happen very often, maybe twice, but it looks like that. Hopefully he fully recovers.
My thoughts are with him
Pacemakers, as a rule, do not fail. But they can be messed up by microwaves. Hence, the warning on convenience store doors that a microwave oven is in use. This is to avoid complications for pacemaker patients.
Microwave generation requires a focusing attenna. So, a microwave generator is essentially a microwave gun with razor-sharp accuracy.
All good wishes, and hopes for a speedy recovery.
I am worried. I am in dispute with the ‘Economist’, and have yet to speak to Emma Duncan (deputy, and editor of current edition). My subscription ends in June 2010. When I log on, the message is that my access (goes with the subscription) has expired.
Big business, including big oil, saw which way the wind would blow long ago, and changed tack. Look out, folks! Trillions at stake.
Reading the translation of the article I suspect he has a implanted defibrillator.

OUCH !!!
That’s scary !
Good luck on a great recovery !
Any word on his condition?
Change the way this reads please “good news”, stated right below a video of a human being having a heart attack.
And I say this as a non believer in the mmGW hoax.
Have some tact please.
I hope you’re okay Henrik Svensmark.
What up with the guy who touches him just before he fell?
One of the few Danes in that bribery shop who can see clearly. May Grundvig, Hans Andersen, Saxo Grammaticus be with him! He will know these other clear-sighted Danes who could see the dross, the bad, the corrupt, and still hold integrity proudly in the rabble, and with great, creative imagination.
Glad to hear he’s ok. Pretty tough crowd there, might make me skip a heartbeat.
His theories about cosmic influence on earth’s climate have been attacked by AGW proponents because he’s a threat to them. They’re probably having a party at UEA’s CRU right now. I wish Henrik a speedy recovery.
The Edgar family wishes Dr. Svensmark a prompt and speedy recovery, Also, Thanks Erik for the mailing address, we’ll be sending a card as well.
Seems it was getting personal.

Whether he is right or wrong, he is a true scientist and not given to ‘cooking’ the books unlike some………. .
I wish you well Mr. Svensmark.
Oh my god. 🙁
