A very interesting interview of Professor Craig F. Bohren of the Department of Meteorology of Pennylvania State University appears in the August 7, 2006 issue of USATODAY.com. It is entitled “How to get to the bottom of the global warming debate“.
Among Professor Bohren’s comments is the statement that,
“First off, let me say I consider the concept of a global mean temperature [upon which global warming statistics are based] to be somewhat dubious, and I say so in my recent book (with Eugene Clothiaux) Fundamentals of Atmospheric Radiation. A single number cannot adequately capture climate change. This number, as I see it, is aimed mostly at politicians and journalists.”
Read further in the interview for useful insight into his views on the issue of human caused climate change, and other environmental and energy issues.
