Harold Lewis is Emeritus Professor of Physics

Lewis is not a climate scientist now, nor was he ever.

Worth actually reading about Prof Lewis and his CV, before you
comment.

"What strikes me as irrational is that an intelligent person like Dr.
Lewis, who has devoted his professional life to science, would either
pay no heed to, or dismiss, the mountains of scientific evidence, from
neuroscience and psychology and economics and sociology, that
demonstrates beyond any serious question that the way we perceive risk
is affective… Our fears are a combination of the facts and how those
facts feel.

Our brains are hard wired to do it this way. It seems Dr. Lewis is
demonstrating the very phenomenon he laments, letting his affect and
worldviews interfere with taking all the reliable evidence into
account in order to make a truly informed and fair judgment."

Seems from the posts on this group that Lewis is not the only one to
suffer this way.



It's been dealt with months ago. Everone is entitled to an opinion and
everyone is entitled to change their mind, as Lewis has done from his
beliefs of 20 years ago, when he was a working scientist (not in
climate science - he worked in defence). I could direct you to placess
like Eli Rabbett's blog, but it will be a waste of time as you won't
read it and you'll continue think that one person't opinion is greater
than almost all the rest of climate scientists put together.

That's what you deniers do. You deny all attempt at showing you sense
and balance and you deny science.- Hide quoted text -

Nah.... your fears are because you haven't grown up. You still think
there is a boogeyman in the closet or under your bed, and you want
your mommy to leave the light on... but now it is the boogeyman of
catastrophic nightmarish end-of-the-world man-made global warming.

Take a valium and calm down.
