Dr. Richard Lindzen is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry.
He served as the Gordon McKay Professor of Dynamic Meteorology at Harvard University and was appointed as the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the MIT. Dr. Lindzen has disputed the scientific consensus on climate change and criticizes what he has called “climate alarmism”.
Rather than picking apart the arguments for or against said climate narratives, our conversation is largely focused on the question of what would motivate such alleged deception were it found to be the case.

PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he’s not in the film studio, he’s exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities.

He’s a brilliant man that should be listened to.
Although the success of climate catastrophism is based on deception, I think we really need to look into the why and how of its social acceptance and promotion; especially by left-wing activists. An idea in society doesn’t succeed simply by being said, it must also be promoted, with contra-ideas suppressed. The take I get from Lindzen’s talk is that a funding feedback loop was set up, beginning with seed money going to politicos, who then released money (mostly to academia) to research, publish and promote the climate crisis.
Great interview. Lindzen unleashed.
Guy Calender caught a broadside:
How he clearly linked CO₂ to temperature and declared that: The warming it caused would be beneficial
Slight problem: He had his graph upside down – the trend he calculated was a cooling trend
Next in the firing line: Arhenuis and Tyndall
This thing is utter garbage
Here it is in microcosm – an article describing how many solar panels would be needed in the Sahara (to power the world) and what they would cost
We are sooooo lost – it is beyond depressing
“Dr. Richard Lindzen is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry.”
In some online forums- can’t recall where, people actually said that Lindzen “ain’t a climate scientist” though they think Al “the oceans are boiling” Gore is one.
Yes, but what to do with climate emotions?…..and a fungal disease is spreading fast – climate change could be to blame….and heat waves ramp up burning of fossil fuels….and ERs are seeing more patients with heat related diseases….and heat is costing the economy billions in lost productivity…and climate change is changing how we dream…and and…. ad infinitum…..
The motivation of any alleged deception is the fear of being made to look foolish when / if it is found out that they were wrong and knew it all along.
Fascinating discussion.
