Dr. Weinstein has 35 years experience at the NASA Langley Research Center where he was a Senior Research Scientist and is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Aerospace.
His position is not that the earth didn't experience some warming in the last decade, but that the warming was far less than predicted by the likes of the IPCC report and alarmists such as Hansen. Weinstein also maintains that the link between warming, and man-made causes is minimal, and any future climate warming will be far less than more recent alarmist predictions from the global warming crowd is now disseminating. He does propose continued policies to reduce overall human-made pollution - but believes the man-made greenhouse gas/global warming theory to be more propoganda than science.
Weinstein shows that an honest review of even recent earth temperatures shows variations between warmer and colder periods, including periods warmer than present yet before the more substantial rise in human-produced CO2 levels. (Such as the 1930s and 1940s, which were significantly warmer than the 1990's and certainly warmer than the last few years when temperatures have been in decline once again.)
Any attempts to disregard Weinstein's views on the subject is simply another example of those clinging on to their pre-determined global warming belief system. His opinion, like other climate realists in the scientific community, is worthy of serious consideration by anyone actually approaching this subject with an objective, science-based approach...
I guess we can rule Old Roxy out then.
