Joe Rogan Experience #2397 - Richard Lindzen & William Happer - Podcast Recap

This podcast recap is from an extended discussion featuring retired academics Dick Linden and Will Happer who specialize in atmospheric sciences and physics, respectively. The conversation centers on climate science, particularly questioning the prevailing narrative surrounding global warming and the role of carbon dioxide (CO2). The experts argue that the field has become politicized and ideological, leading to a suppression of scientific questioning, skewed funding priorities, and an overemphasis on catastrophic predictions that they claim are not supported by the data or complex fluid dynamics equations. They draw parallels between the current climate consensus and historical examples of ideologically driven science, such as the eugenics movement, asserting that financial incentives and the quest for political power have corrupted the scientific process and led to public fear-mongering.
