Quote of the Week: “Progress often involves the killing of an exquisite theory by an ugly fact.” — Leon Lederman, Nobel Laureate in Physics, The God Particle (1993), [H/t Richard Lindzen and William Happer]
Number of the Week: 24,742 balancing actions
THIS WEEK:
By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)
Scope: TWTW begins with a report by Richard Lindzen and William Happer on greenhouse gases. They use the scientific method to substantiate that adding more greenhouse gases will benefit Earth and not cause human harm. TWTW then repeats a 2023 report by Happer, Lindzen, and Gregory Wrightstone demonstrating that the US 5th National Climate Assessment is scientifically fatally flawed. TWTW concludes with a discussion on inertia on the power grid.
*********************
Applying the Scientific Method: Last week, TWTW focused on a paper by Richard Lindzen and William Happer emphasizing Gold Standard Science. “Scientific Knowledge Is Determined by the Scientific Method, Not by Government Opinion, Consensus, 97% of Scientists’ Opinions, Peer Review, Models that Do Not Work, or Cherry-Picked, Fabricated, Falsified or Omitted Contradictory Data.” The two authors discussed each of these subtopics.
