I watched the video before I read the article. I thought that was a rather unusual and specific retort. As it turned out, she did her homework and came prepared. Good on her.  | |||

Fascinating video, 4 minutes long. I wouldn't post this without verifying that the man is an actual Ph.D. scientist with credentials. 66 publications according to researchgate.net. He's a professor and a curator at the Niels Bohr Institute. The historic temperature in Greenland is derived from ice cores, and go back about 8000 years. The data show it was about 2 degrees warmer warmer for that entire period until about 2000 years ago when it started cooling. The last 800 years have been the coldest in the record, with the temperature rising again about 125 years ago. This temperature rise coincidentally happened right when humans started collecting decent weather records. https://youtu.be/L1mjG_F8ppw This graph is from another source with more granularity than he shows in the video. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SExu...ce_core_10000yrs.jpg | |||

Yes, you can see her glancing down at her notes. What it comes down to is that if he had been nice, she would have been nice, but she knew this was highly unlikely and he met expectations, so she let him have it. | |||

Her retort, and her entire testimony was probably due in no small part to her education and upbringing. She had a real education (M.Phil in economics from Oxford) where she undoubtedly mastered the art of disagreeing without being disagreeable. Imagine the contrast between the demeanor of Furchgott-Roth and someone like Rev. Al giving the same answers to those questions. His voice would be on blast 100% of the time, his face would be contorted with indignation and his inflection and delivery would be designed to be accusatory and inflammatory rather than merely calmly stating easily verifiable facts in an amiable manner. | |||

Also notice that unlike all those flunkies foisted by the Biden regime for various posts, she did not once stall for time by thanking him for his questions. | |||

Yep. And she had all the answers too in terms of funding. And I like how she pointed out she's been writing the same thing since the mid 80s and that what she writes doesn't depend on where she works. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
