Two seconds of research into this guy and I come up with this statement.
Dr. Lindzen accepts the elementary tenets of climate science. He agrees that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, calling people who dispute that point "nutty."
Although I'm not familiar with him, a cursory reading of his position sounds like he doesn't disagree with the science rather with the political conclusions. Yes, I still maintain that no one who disputes climate change understands it. Someone being a scientist doesn't even make them intelligent. It's more likely they are, but the only guarantee is that they can trudge their way through academia well.
