John Abraham, professor of thermal sciences at University of St. Thomas School of Engineering, Minnesota, received worldwide attention for his debunking reply to misrepresentations of climate science by Lord Monckton.
Now, Abraham has given scientists everywhere a master-class in dealing with hostile media. America’s Radio News interviewed Abraham in response to the recent tornado devastation in parts of the USA. (h/t Crock of the Week)
Abraham – who is also a founding member of the Climate Science Rapid Response Team – covers a remarkable amount of ground in the interview, including the relative impact of carbon dioxide and water vapour as greenhouse gases; the role of the oceans in absorbing carbon dioxide and the percent of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is a result of man’s activities. There is also some great use of the “whodunit” approach to climate science.
