Hsieh LTE in WSJ on Climate Change

By Paul Hsieh @ 2:00 PM

The December 7, 2009 Wall Street Journal printed my LTE in support of Dr. Richard Lindzen's December 1 OpEd, "The Climate Science Isn't Settled".

My LTE is on the page entitled, "The Science Behind the IPCC Climate Report Is Sound" (4th of 5):
If a respected MIT scientist like Mr. Lindzen argues that "the science isn't settled," and other scientists disagree, then doesn't the very dispute itself prove that the science isn't settled?

Sedalia, Colo.
(The title applies to the first letter on the page, not to mine.)

This is also my new record for LTE brevity -- 30 words!

Of course the dispute is settled. Any "scientist" who disagrees with the "science" is no true Scotsman - er - scientist.

Wow, talk about pithy (to quote the blowhard Bill O'Reilly)! I wonder if the Climate Disciples are even capable of understanding your LTE, Paul, much less respond with any intelligence. Congrats!

BTW, here's another good quote from VodkaPundit:

"EPA declared CO2 a pollutant, and I joked that maybe I should stop breathing. Then realized that was the whole point."

A Climategate email to Phil Jones references Mr. Lindzen and his co-author and describes their work as "crap." Their goal, as stated in the email: "avoid giving Lindzen the last word." http://shrt.st/alp

Such is the integrity of the self-styled "scientists" who are perpetrating this fraud.

VodkaPundit's quote would make a tremendous LTE, and it's even shorter than Paul's! Thanks for coming up with such great "wish I thought of that" stuff, guys. Is it OK if others (I)use them in their (my) own LTE's? 8^)
