But for Richard Lindzen, a climate physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this explosion
of interest amounts to "baseless alarmism". Lindzen, who has studied meteorology and the climate for
more than 40 years, believes the evidence that man is dangerously overheating the planet simply does
not stack up. And he thinks that the predicted widespread sea-level rises, droughts and floods will not
materialize. Even if these effects were on the cards, he says, attempts to reduce emissions of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases would do almost nothing to hold such disasters back.
