A French Global Warming Skeptic

Here is a talk by Vincent Courtillot, a French geophysicist who writes on mass extinction events and more recently on climate.



Notice how he indirectly points out how research has been suppressed by the "global warming" crowd. He states in passing that he doesn't have funding for a student and if he did he wouldn't hire a student because work of the type he is doing would kill the student's career. Instead, he points out that he and 4 or 5 other older scientists are working on this problem because they are too old to have their careers affected by the political (especially funding) power of the "global warming" crowd.

Notice also that in the last few minutes of his talk he notes that the sun is dynamic and jumps between states and has gone from a highly active state to a fairly quiet state which implies that the climate may be entering a Maunder Minimum, the period roughly spanning 1645 to 1715 when sunspots became exceedingly rare and which coincided with the middle -- and coldest part -- of the Little Ice Age.
