Or this?
"Any scientist who rejects the UN’s IPCC report, as he does, will have trouble finding work, receiving research grants or publishing, he said."
These last words were certainly prophetic. But then it could have just been that, while this scientist believes there is some warming effect from CO2, his projections are lower than the IPCC and he believes the effects of the sun have been largely ignored. So why would anyone want to hear from a guy like that?
Well, apparently not desmogblog, even though it acknowledges that
"[a]lthough he is skeptical of man-made climate change, he stresses that there are a “dozen good reasons why we should strive to burn less fossil fuels.” His two primary reasons are pollution and depletion. He is in favor of developing cheap energy alternatives such as wind and solar power."
Apparently that's not good enough, however, since his team's projections are for a "change of 1.0 to 1.5 degrees Celsius – much less than the 1.5 to 4.5 degree change the IPCC has used since it began issuing its reports." But who cares what the chair of the physics dept at a leading university thinks? Especially when he used to be a true believer . . .
"A few years ago if you would ask me I would tell you it's CO2. Why? Because just like everyone else in the public I listened to what the media had to say."

Forbes is not scientific journal. It regularly has posts from Heartland and others.

You fail to provide evidence for this assertion.

I cannot determine Forbes' reasoning. Doron Levin's ballywick is cars, not astrophysics or climate science.

Unlike others, I am not prepared to leap to conclusions.

Oh right, and there's a difference when it comes to whether a scientist gets published depending on whether his work is suppressed or ignored?
Where's the intelligent design part? Did I miss something off his rap sheet on desmogblog, or is this just another one of your more generalized slurs against religious people?

No matter how you say it, you say it a lot. My post was mostly just quoting this scientist. Maybe he has a discussion blog you could join and tell him directly? Please do re-post the discussion here.

He's onboard with much of the official position, so need ones which contradict basic themes. Like the one Newhaul posted. I didn't understand the Forbes rejection either. Seems like it'd be right up their alley. Maybe IBD will pick it up.

Proof positive that he, and other "skeptics" get published.

That's a reach. According to you but not them. Who's less biased?

Unsubstantiated idle assertion.

That is a giant leap of a conclusion.
