#1 "whole thing got out of control"

That pretty much sums it up.

"his tendency to go against the flow has been with him since he was a child in Japan"

Very unusual, no? Good for you, Mr. Akasofu - you're obviously one of those natural Americans who just weren't born here, but got here anyway.

(As opposed to those natural ~~Democrats~~ ~~socialists~~ EUros who unfortunately were born here. I wish they'd go where they obviously belong, and leave us the hell alone.)

#2 Here's a very interesting take-down of one of the ~~global war~~ -er- Climate Change adherents' key pieces of "scientific" evidence. I had always assumed there was statistical fudging involved, but I didn't think it was outright fraud.

#6 Akasofu said he could recall in the 1960s and 1970s when some scientists were talking about an approaching ice age.

Wait. I thought that didn't happen. God knows I've heard enough leftards lecture about how "scientists really didn't believe that", and how the Newsweek cover story just came out of the blue and surprised everyone.

Now we get a respected scientist in the field saying it did happen?

Huh.

Weird.

#7 "The Coming Ice Age" was the big worry when I was in grad school in the late 70s. Akasofu is a highly respected Upper Atmosphere scientist.
