Mal-Informed Toadies. They should all be thrown into Boston Harbor by people dressed up like Senator Warren´s ancestors.

Four years is all we´ve got. How convenient.

Hahahahahahahaha.

Oh no! Only 7 hours left to stop the sun from going down! Help!

If they would just go ahead and call it a religion they could admit they care nothing for the scientific method and quit lying about it.

The article does not say WHO wrote the letter. Obviously the SCHOOL did not write the letter, someone at the school wrote it. Maybe the ??? (I´d say janitor, but I don´t want to insult them).

I sympathize w/ Karen - MIT was once an *objective* university...

Somewhat less than amusing to see how often the ´science´ behind this scam is debunked - to be countered simply with louder ´warnings´. No ´dire warning´ issued by *any* authority - most notably the IPCC - has come to pass, nor as *any* empirically proven thesis been offered, and the trolls keep on trolling. Nothing sells like ´salvation´ - or more accurately - nothing taxes like the intangible.

Global warming? Not a snowball´s chance in Hell.

You´re more likely to see some loud-mouthed ´greenie´ sell his opinion outlet to Islamist fossil fuel hustlers...

Wait...that was last week. Next bug-a-boo?

The booger-eating morons at MIT need to talk to Russia, China and India about this issue more than Obambi.

Thanks #6.

Did the letter refer to ANY study that establishes GW as a scientifically provable fact?

I´ve never been able to find such an article.

The letter is from the editors of MIT Technology Review, not MIT the university. I´m sure MIT´s Richard Lindzen will have a comment on this

Yes, who is this from? What "facts" are they citing? What effect, acting alone, will the U.S. economic collapse as a result of acting on this fraud have on Climate....oh, I know, the Chinese, Indians and other nations who give this whole issue the bottom of the shoe will gain and we´ll lose, problem solved. Meanwhile, climate and nature go their happy way.

We need more grant money. C´mon Obama you´ve only got four years to send us more money. Step on it. Some of us don´t even have yachts yet.

Thank you Poster #9, I didn´t know of Richard Lindzen. For those who are wondering, according to Wikpedia Richard Lindzen is a atmospheric physicist and Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "He is a well known skeptic concerning catastrophic global warming[2] and critic of what he states are political pressures on climate scientists to conform to what he has called climate alarmism."

Let´s hope that Jesus will be back before then. Things are unraveling quickly down here, and the global warming hoax has nothing to do with it.

The mag is not the school, but has some sort of affiliation. It has the typical left lean, I think the newest editor is a total lefty, so this kind of stuff is just part of the package.

There will be much nodding and pontificating about this up and down the Charles.

So 0boozo´s term ends with the world coming to an end.

He still looks like Curious George.

Poppycock. Greenland was green 1000 years ago. Check out Greenland´s temperature history.

By the way, which nerd speaks for MIT? And why is it "four years". Greenland was warmer for 400 years, from 800-1200 AD.

Whoring for Grant Money.

Only three more years before Al Gore´s 10 year prediction comes due. All Al wanted was a complete transformation of society, of course under his control, to save us from ourselves. Just total control; nothing more.

Do they mean that Global Warming that stopped of its own accord 14 years ago with the Sun´s natural cycle? And forced them to rename the phenomenon "climate change" because there was no such thing as warming?

I´m an MIT casualty (alumnus) and clearly recall all the Commie utopia crap that passed for political insight there during the 1980s. "Eat the Rich" was popular basement graffiti, second only to "No Toad Sexing Allowed" in ubiquity around campus. (Clearly economics is one area that "MIT" is not synonymous with genius or wisdom.)

There has not been consensus on ´global warming´ among the atmospheric science professors there, much less globally. And much of what I´ve seen from the climate-change alarmists has failed to rise to the minimal standards of scientific discipline that was taught to us as freshmen there.

My feeble, trembling fingers were about to write MIT into my will when I got the word that it is all over in four years. It would be different if only we had five years left. Oh well.

Not to worry...everyone open the windows and doors of your homes and turn your air conditioning to cool on full blast. We´ll have everything cooled down before sundown today!!

There, that will fix the problem, is a realistic solution, and is based on facts and physics as much as the ridiculous headline of this article!!!

Running a little low on research grants, are we?

Yea, that´s when their grants run out...it´s all about fake science to justify more money for the Socialist/Marxist toad perfessors to study BS and make it sound real.

I still haven´t figgered out how it is that the people who "know" what earth´s temperature will be, to tenths of a degree, in a hundred years, can´t tell me for sure if it´ll rain next Tuesday....

I used to subscribe to MIT TR for many years. When they started pushing global warming I canceled with a letter explaining why.

I have no regrets.

I used to think the smart people went to MIT and the rest went to Harvard. I guess I was wrong.
