'Old fuddy duddy' (Freeman Dyson) joins climate change conversation


P

rinceton physicist Freeman Dyson has been roundly criticized for insisting global warming is not an urgent problem, with many climate scientists dismissing him as woefully ill-informed.

In an interview with Yale Environment 360, Dyson explains his iconoclastic views and why he believes they have stirred such controversy.

Dyson is interviewed on environment360 by Michael D. Lemonick - “Freeman Dyson Takes on the Climate Establishment.”

Here Inverse reports on Dyson Freeman – “Admitted Climate Change Non-Expert Freeman Dyson Becomes Accidental Leader.”

Jacqueline Ronson reports: “Brilliant physicist and committed (gasp) Democrat Freeman Dyson has called out President Obama on his climate change stance and Fox News et al. are busy making low-quality hay. The deniers are desperate. The best hero they can muster is a 91-year-old guy who’s the first to admit he’s no expert and has no interest in being the spokesperson for this cause.”
