> I'll take a well-informed, nuanced opinion of Dyson, a colleague of Einstein and Feynman ... I'm sorry, but being a colleague of Einstein and Feynman is not a qualification. Einstein famously rejected quantum mechanics because he felt that God would not create a world where it can be true. Feynman (a personal hero of mine) did not brush his teeth because he thought there was not sufficient scientific evidence that it helps keep them healthy. History is full of brilliant people who make mistakes. Freeman Dyson has not done sufficient research to reach the conclusion that he has, and he certainly hasn't gone back to look at how the predictions have panned out (both from the climate change camp and other one). He is a charlatan when it comes to climate science. It is not wise to worship any single person and accept their claims uncritically, and an appeal to an authority is usually a weak argument.
