Global warming

Yesterday's WSJ published an op-ed saying that global warming is not the threat is it made out to be. Among the claims made is that there has been no evidence of warming for the past decade. The piece is signed by a number of people with impressive affiliations. Included on the page is a 6:45 minute video interview with Princeton physics professor William Happer. He studies optics, not climate, but even so ... I haven't been able to find a response to this piece. Does anyone know of one?

Re: Global warming

I had posted the same request on my Google+ account and immediately got a reference to a piece in Forbes.

I think the most obviously damning fact for that piece is the dearth of actual climate scientists as signatories. Engineers and weathermen? Talk about false authority syndrome. Lol
