If I have learned anything as a scientist it is that one should not make things complicated when a simple explanation will do. - Ivar Giæver

I am not really terribly interested in global warming. Like most physicists I don't think much about it. But in 2008 I was in a panel here about global warming and I had to learn something about it. And I spent a day or so — half a day maybe on Google, and I was horrified by what I learned.

Global warming really has become a new religion. Because you cannot discuss it. It’s not proper. It is like the Catholic Church.

The facts are that in the last 100 years we have measured the temperatures it has gone up .8 degrees and everything in the world has gotten better.
