July 14, 2023. Nobel Laureate Physicist Calls Climate Emergency
a “Dangerous Corruption of Science”

Well using the word "corruption" depends on what you regard as "science".
----------------------------------
And a physicist (OMG, he got a Nobel Prize) pontificating on climate science is about as interesting as the weatherman pontificating on string theory.
As a former climate scientist I disagree in principle. Many people in my field came from
other disciplines, engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry. While there is a lot of
information to pick up, anyone with a solid grasp of classical physics and mathematics
has a good start on the field (a limited amount of QM helps as well).
However, he claims that clouds will prevent GW. Not only does this not seem to be happening, but
clouds have been a part of general circulation models for over 40 years now (and to some degree
before then). I myself worked on implementing a cloud model in a GCM in the early
1980s.
So he must be claiming that these models are wrong, and that he has the only correct physical
model of clouds. Well, if so, let him present, let him publish. He has plenty of time to get an
abstract into the American Geophysical Union conference in December, where he can present
and defend his work. If that's too rushed, there are other conferences, or AGU in 2024.
If he is honest, he will present. One of the people mentioned in the link also had a climate
model that allegedly showed the temperature to be relatively insensitive to CO2 levels.
We are still waiting for that one, though he is long retired.
His submission would certainly be accepted by AGU. I've attended talks by Singer,
McIntyre, and Reed Bryson, to name three "skeptics". (To be precise, the Bryson talk was at NASA). He'd best come prepared to answer questions, though.
If he doesn't present his work, then indeed he is just pontificating.
Not that I have anything against bridge-priests.
